Mystery of the mind revealed

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits.

Every one of us experiences a mysterious extra dimensional reality all of the time. But due to familiarity and programmed thinking we don't realize the mystical nature of what we all take for granted. By even a slight amount of observation towards ourselves we can have our entire way of looking at "reality" forever altered.

What is this "paranormal" or "mystical" experience? The Answer may surprise you. Consciousness and Mind are two distinct phenomena. The mind is a dialogue in our consciousness that we perceive to be centered in our head. Consciousness is the thing which listens to that dialogue and which experiences sensual stimuli through the bodily apparatus as well as emotional states brought on through the mind or sensual stimuli. We know that both the mind and conscious observer exist due to our own experience, still we cannot subject either to 3 dimensional investigatory technology and come up with a picture of their physical 3 dimensional existence.

Therefore we may conclude until evidence to the contrary that mind and consciousness exist in a different dimension then the 3 we are used to dealing with on the physical plane. The fact of other dimensions being involved leaves us with a lack of tools necessary to get at the truth. It is like looking in your pocket for a thought. The key to unlocking the mystery of the consciousness and mind is in the study of memory. While you read these words a little silent voice is speaking in your mind. These words are being dictated to you as you read them.

That little voice is what you think is your mind. You identify that voice as being under your control. You think it is an extension of your being. But you cannot control it. Try reading these words and try to do it without that little voice. Try to stop the inner voice from dictating these words in your mind as you read.. You will find it to be impossible. This is because you do not control it. Try to remember what you ate for dinner 3 nights ago. What did you do? Did you look in a database of memories? No. Did you look at anything? [unless you cheated] No.

How did the memory become available to you? If it did. At every moment you are100% reliant on memory for everything you do and think. You remember language, how to walk, where you are, who you are, etc. None of this is being supplied to you by your effort. You do not consult a database for memory. How do you access your memory? You do not mechanistically store memory data in a database. You do not mechanistically access memory data from a database. What do you do then?

Try and remember what you ate for breakfast yesterday. What did you do? You sat there and stared into empty space. The memory either popped up or it didn't. Memory is not under your control. This is because you have no way to control the storage nor any way to control the access of any memory. Unless you read it off something. But even that ability to comprehend language is done through memory. Ultimately almost everything you do and think is 100% based on memory storage and access. Which you cannot control. So what decides which memory is accessable to you at any given time.

For you to be able to function as you do you need to remember a lot of stuff every time you wake from sleep. Do you access a database when you awaken to find out who and what you are? Where and when you live? What and how to do anything? No. All of these essential memories are automatically given to you without you doing anything. Then when you "try" to remember what you ate for breakfast yestarday, again you did nothing. You simply hoped a memory would come into your mind via the little silent voice in your head. That is what you call remembering. You sit there and hope a memory comes into your mind, and if it does it does so by that silent voice in your mind dictating the memory to you.

Even the desire for a memory needs memory supplied to you in order for you to comprehend the concept. Try to remember your name. What happened? The silent voice in your head said your name in your mind. YOU heard that voice. IT told YOU your name. You did not look into a database. You did not do anything except desire. Then that silent voice gave you a memory. Voila! That voice is how memory is given to you. And as we have already seen you cannot control that voice because as you read these words you cannot make that voice stop. So, you cannot control memory, you cannot control your mind. The "experts" on memory brain relationships are totaly baffled by these things. As well they should be. All memory is given to you as if by magic. But it isn't.

I have studied the various theories put forth on memory. They are speculative and not based on testable data nor usually, common sense. No one theory is accepted as being provable or even close to being so. This is why there are many theories and little in the way of conclusions. I believe they are searching in the wrong direction. They are searching for a biological process. Memory is given to us by the mind but we do not control that process. What does this imply? By searching for a chemical mechanism that supplies memory to our mind wemiss the obvious...the mind is receiving the memory and transmitting the memory to our cognitave awareness in a way that is not possible by a chemical reaction, not possible by mechanical cells.

Can a chemical reaction based machine be constantly aware of your thoughts, experiences, and mental imagery? Can a machine based on chemical reactions then store those thoughts, experiences, and images? Can those machines then make them available to your awareness simply by your desire? Can any type of cell in your body read your mind? Can any type of cell search out and present data to your mind? The answer is no.

Chemical reactions in cells give simple types of information. Yes/no, open/closed. Cells are machines that do what they are programmed to do. They are robotic. They cannot read your mind and then copy that information and then store it and then access it later based on your desire. They do not have the ability to store memory. They are machines that work unconsciously. By looking for a physical process to explain how memory works we come to an impasse. There are no cells that have ever been discovered that have the ability to do what is necessary to enable them to interact with our thoughts and experiences, and then store and access that information.

Sorting, accessing, and retrieving information based on our desire is impossbile without any type of conscious management. Even if there were actual magical cells that could interface with your thoughts, in order to manage the whole system there would have to be awareness, consciousness. A thinking mechanism is required in order to manage thoughts or memories. Chemical commands are based on simple open/closed or yes/no mechanisms. Because of the great complexity and interconnectedness and vast amounts of these simple communications a larger more complex system is managed. Memory is not encoded somewhere like the info in DNA.

Information and it's accessibility and use is what memory is all about. Chemical reactions have no way to store memory information and no way to access it either. For example: within your mind picture the earth in space. That is accomplished by your mind based on information of what that looks like. That mental image is available to you by your desire. Chemical reactions do not have the ability to create mental images based on your desire. Chemical reactions within cells are based on commands from other chemical reactions. Cells "communicate" by chemical reactions. They do what they are programmed to do. A neuron produces simple electro chemical signals, they do not process thought nor desire.

Neurons are not thinking mechanisms, they are mechanical mechanisms. Biological chemical reactions are incapable of interfacing with your thought process, they are not programmed to do that. In fact it is impossbile for cells to be aware of anything because they have no conscious awareness. They work by chemical reaction. There is not a single cell in your body which is aware of anything. They are robots. They cannot be aware of your thoughts and experiences. They cannot capture, store, nor process any aspect of the memory system. That requires awareness of your thoughts and experiences and desires. Processing desire and thought demands a desire/thought receptor/transmitter. Technology that is sufficiently advanced will apear to be magic to those unaware of it's intricacies. We do not have full access to all of the dimensions involved in our world.

We only see the tip of the iceberg. There must be an unknown technology which operates in other dimensions and which can affect our own. Our memory system cannot function as it does without some unseen control. Our bodies simply cannot perform the tasks necessary. A person suggested to me that my idea that memories of people are completely beyond our control is quite wrong. He said that if that were true then no memory improvement techniques would ever work. But some do. The idea that memory improvement "techniques" prove that we control memory is not something I can agree with. What is a memory improvement technique? What do they actually enhance? Lets look at a memory impairment technique, say a lobotomy or drinking a lot of alcohol.

Memory in all cases, with or without impairment or enhancement, remains beyond our control. We may be able to enhance or impair our ability to receive a memory, but we do not actually control the retrieval nor the storage of any memory. This is simple to prove. Try and remember what you were doing this time 1 week ago. What do you do to try and access that memory? You sit or stand, and you may close your eyes or not, and you wait for a memory to appear, either a direct memory of 1 week ago or another memory which you may think can point you in the right direction. You do not do anything else, you can't. There is nothing else you can do. You do not have access directly to your memories, they simply appear or not without you doing any data search in any data bank.

That is how all memory appears to your consciousness. Your mind, or that voice in your head, either informs you of a memory without your doing any data searching, or it doesn't retrieve the memory. Either way you do no actual data search, you have no capacity, and no knowledge of where to look if you did have the capacity. So you do not control memory but you can affect your ability to perceive memory. By doing things to your body you can affect how your consciousness is able to perceive the mind, which gives the memory. But you do not actually control the access itself. If you eat healthy foods or take a drug of some type which enhances your alertness and awareness, then your ability to be aware of your mind which supplies a memory can be enhanced, conversely it can be impaired the same way.

The Holographic mind concept has been around for awhile. http://twm.co.nz/pribram.htm But it is pure speculation and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of explaining how it works. It still leaves us with essentially the same problems as with the biological memory theory. How do we access a memory without any actual data search? How does thought become managed by an unconscious system? The holograpic model is pure theory without any data to back it up whatsoever. Which is in fact the case for all the rest of the theories put forth by scientists as well. There is an alternative scenario.

Memory is provided to us via the little voice in our head. We call that voice the mind. What is that voice? How do we "hear" it? Not with our ears, it makes no audible sound. Yet we "hear" it. How do we hear it and what kind of "sound" is it? It isn't a sound at all, yet we "hear" it speaking. This is all very mysterious. Here is an alternative. Imagine a dimension of consciousness/mind. For arguments sake let's suppose the universe is infinite. Within the infinite space of the universe we can observe 3 dimensional substances, both gross and subtle. Atoms, molecules and elements, as well as electro magnetic fields. Our mind and consciousness exist, yet they are not comprised of 3 dimensional elements. Our mind, thoughts and consciousness cannot be examined and weighed and shown to be made up of particles of matter/energy.

Our consciousness and mind exist yet they are comprised of a substance which is not 3 dimensional. Dreams or thought images are not comprised of matter, they are comprised of a different substance. They exist in a different dimension or dimensions.They exist and are comprised of a substance or substances which exists in it's own dimension. What if that dimension was a single unified field? Imagine the universe being pervaded by a unified field of something existing in it's own dimension. That unified field could be comprised of mind and consciousness.

What if our brains are processors which allow our bodies and awareness to interact with that field? What if our minds were all connected because there is really only a single mind, an infinite unified field of mind energy? That mind is speaking to us and giving us memory which we need in order to be able to function as intelligent beings. Our memory is stored and given to us by that mind via the voice in our head. Obviously that universal mind would have to be self aware and functioning on a level beyond our understanding. It would be something like a computer which exists in a dimension that we are only perceiving to a slight degree.

Rupert Sheldrake has addressed the memory problem in his memory theories. Although my theory is somewhat different then his. Here's a bit from Sheldrake.

If the brain is to serve as a memory storehouse, then the storage system would have to remain stable; yet it is now known that nerve cells turn over much more rapidly than was previously thought. All the chemicals in synapses and nerve structures and molecules are turning over and changing all the time. With a very dynamic brain, it is difficult to see how memories are stored. There is also a logical problem about conventional theories of memory storage, which various philosophers have pointed out. All conventional theories assume that memories are somehow coded and located in a memory store in the brain. When they are needed they are recovered by a retrieval system. This is called the coding, storage, and retrieval model. However, for a retrieval system to retrieve anything, it has to know what it wants to retrieve; a memory retrieval system has to know what memory it is looking for. It thus must be able to recognize the memory that it is trying to retrieve. In order to recognize it, the retrieval system itself must have some kind of memory. Therefore, the retrieval system must have a sub-retrieval system to retrieve its memories from its store. This leads to an infinite regress. Several philosophers argue that this is a fatal, logical flaw in any conventional theory of memory storage. However, on the whole, memory theoreticians are not very interested in what philosophers say, so they do not bother to reply to this argument. But it does seem to me quite a powerful one.

As he points out, and as I have as well, regardless of where memory is stored, the problem of how memory is accessed remains. As I have pointed out, the system demands a conscious search and presentation process or mechanism in order for memory to be available to us. Regardless of where memory is stored there has to be a way to sort through the data and make the precise data available to us. This can only be accomplished by an intelligent process. It needs to be able to interface with our consciousness and mind, and it needs to be able to freely access/search for, and then present memory data for our use. An unconscious process would be unable to interface to the degree needed with a conscious process in order for the whole memory system to be able to work. We are the conscious receiver of memory received via our consciousness and mind. Any mechanism which is accessing and searching and retreiving memory data must be able to interface with our mind and be able to process our needs accordingly. It has to be consciously aware of our mind.

Recently there has been some things in the media pushed by some scientists about an implant into peoples brains that can supposedly "read thoughts". They showed a man in a wheelchair who couldn't move his arms and hands. They showed him in front of a computer monitor and then they told us that the person was able to move the cursor on the screen by his thoughts. I knew this was impossbile. In fact the person was moving the cursor, yet his eyes and his head were moving in the direction that he wanted the cursor to move. What the implant was actually doing was that it was monitoring the person's physical and chemical reactions through in his brain. It wasn't the thoughts that the implant was understanding, it was the physical reaction i.e moving the eyes and head, of the person. An implant cannot read thoughts because thoughts cannot be perceived by a machine, nor can the machine understand thoughts without it being able to have some sort of database to search for the right language and words that the thoughts are being thought in. The implant didn't have any of that. What that implant was perceiving was some kind of physical and chemical reaction to thought and then transfering that to the computer. The implant wasn't directly perceving the thoughts themselves.
