Hi to all!
Martha's questions deserve a deeper treatment because they really focus on the issues:
1. If the OW merely triggers the inner subjective states within the PC or biological organisms, HOW & from WHERE those subjective states came to exist in the first place?
2. Why do we, as humans, ask, Why I am here?
3. What about those ancient religious sages who claimed to have been enlightened?
4. Why did she, Martha had her own conversion or mystical awakening?
ANSWERS:
1. In the PC those inner states have been programmed to trigger in a very precise way ( a tiny bit of hardware or software bug is enough to crash the system!). By whom? By PC designers & programmers, of course!
In organisms, including humans, those inner realities have been put their by creation or evolution - take your pick!
For instance, when I & my dog look at an uncooked red steak the concept RED is triggered within my CONS ( consciousness) then I project it out into the OW (which is, anyway, my own creation), but in my dog this isn't triggered! He, like all dogs, doesn't have the THSN ( Total Harware/software nature!) dealing with colors. His eyes lack cones. These cells are sensitive to different light frequencies, not colors. When they are stimulated by lights they respond by sending electrical pulses into the visual cortex, where these pulses are turn into colors, only within CONS.,
that is.
It is extremely hard for us to really understand it, & it took me years! When it's bright sunlit day the OW is not bright! Out there is just lots of photons flying around! When it's dark, like night, out there - it's merely fewer photons flying! A bright colorful world or a dark world are images we create in our minds, which we then project 'out there!'
This is the reason why, after decades of research - we cannot decipher the languages of apes, dolphins, & whales, despite them having large brains & they're 'talkative' to one another, inta-species, I mean. The plain reason is that they think differently, not anthropically!
2. We humans ask, Why are we here? - & that's because Somebody put that question in our CONS! The best analogy, is why each of us is eternally looking for our soulmate? The answer is, a person is not complete until she/he communes with her/his other half. Then, it's not even perfect because we will still feel incomplete because we yearn for the final communion with our SOURCE!
3. Those ancients weren't deluded, Martha - they saw the LIGHT , within them!
4. Martha had a conversion experience or a mystical awakening. This is really the whole point here. There's a saying, ' The Spirit Blows Where She
Wills !' If the God-spot in your brain gets stirred up you'll feel mystical,
if not, you'll feel atheistic. Or in TS terms your THSN makes you!
