Structure of God, A Hypothesis

Existence and structure of God

What is god, and what is he made of. When was he born, when will he die? How big he is? What can he do? 

I think, their four I am. 

This comment on existence of self, talks about how we can determine if an object has a self.

As in humans we know, our consciousness is derived from the structure of our brains. The vast interconnection of neurons, which are wired together, and somehow, slowly over millennial due to pressures of evolution or "Unknown Field", evolved into specific structures. this structures  were very specialized, which carried specific functions for controlling various processes in the body. Finally we developed Hippocalmus which gave as power of self awareness.

So while we can argue that an Object can only have consciousness if it can/cannot think, I think is undeniable. Without underlying Physical structure, existence of self isn't possible. Be it a bioligical structure or neurons giving birth to self in humans, or existence of transistors giving birth to AI (possible in near future).

So physical structures are required for existence of self. Without it self cannot exist. As computer cannot work if the CPU is taken out, a human cannot exist after its body has died.

Interestingly, concept of soul defies this convention. A soul is supposed to be an amalgamation of energy, which dosent need any underlying physical structure to exist. It can exist in void, but it needs a physical machinery to express itself. Does that mean soul is like a "kernal code" which when inputted in specific hardware (eg Human) can give rise to consciousness. 

Or Soul itself has primitive/advanced consciousness/intelligence, and when inputted into a machine (i.e. Human body), it creates a new consciousness. This consciousness cannot know about the original "Kernal Code",  but nevertheless, when machine/body dies, it looks for a new Host. Its actions (Karma) may determine the choice and situation of the new Host. For eg, wicked actions make take it to lower hosts (like dog/cat/etc) or make give him birth in unfavorable circumstances (like in poverty, or be handicapped). Lot of religions subscribe to this theory where a persons actions in present life are judged by a universal arbiter (god), will lead to choice of Host in next life.

Christanity slightly changes this concept saying their is no rebirth/re-incarnation, but all good/bad actions will be judged by a universal arbiter (god) on Judgement Day (end of creation). Good/Bad actions will be rewarded/punished accordingly. So according to Christian view, soul exists with the dead body, awaiting judgement day. As dead body has no electrical/biological process to support the consciousness anymore, it must exist in some X dimension, outside the current dimension as scientist have been unable to detect any energy signatures in the dead body.

Or, according to observed phenomena, soul dosent exist? A body slowly gains consciousness as its brain develops. With birth its a blank slate and then based on environment and its genetics, and willpower, it develops its self. 

So self is nothing but increased interaction within the neural cells which organize and develop based on the stimulus from environment. Once the cells die (underlying Hardware goes bad), all electrical activity ceases, any existence of consciousness and self goes away with it. As self is based on physical structures of the neurons and electrical activity in them, manipulating with them can lead to changes to self. 

All current scientific observation leads us to the existence of last view.

But, I digress. 

Well, what could god be. Lets assume that God's body is universe. If we see the structure of Universe, its very similar to how neural structure may appear. As we know this neural structure gives birth of existence of self in humans, cant we not assume the structure of universe similarly gives birth to consciousness/self of God. 

Lets imagine that stars would act as neurons in this, as well as source of energy. All the stars are connected/organized via some dimensional link we have yet to discover/realize. Such vast field at interstellar ranges would give birth of a super consciousness which would be very different that our own self. As we know, our self is a product of our environment, think what the environment God's self would have developed in?

If their is only 1 god/conscious field in the universe, it would have no one to interact to. It may possible have developed/engineered life on planets like earth.

Or many super-consciousness could have developed within the universe. Maybe these are harmonious, may be they simply exist without much interaction. Its tough to imagine as they would have developed in a totally alien environment. We would like to put human perspective on the gods, give them human motivations, but that may be fallacy. 

AH, I read about Tesla in the Oatmeal comics, and was really inspired and depressed. The things invented by the genius transcend the human consciousness, human ingenuity. These are the inventions which pushed the human technology from the dark ages to its golden period.

His contributions were so immense that human mind boggles at what he could have achieved if he had been alive in this era.

Why was his end then sad, or was it really sad. One could argue it was an end befitting an ascetic, a saint who has lived his life simply and powerfully. His reward was the creation of things which were revolutionary. What then is the true reward, true happiness?

I think, based on my limited experience, the ability to really invent, create, bond which your family and loved ones. all these are very important pieces of having a successful and fulfilling life.

One can say that no one may remember what your contributions were, what was your memory. does your memory really matter, does it really do the justice?

I dont know, the real connection with the human, the love which I witnessed in Hunter X Hunter Ep 135, was mind altering. Their are many paths, it matters not which u choose but that you choose and u walk on it.

Que Sera Sera Sera,
whatever will be will be,
the future is not ours to see,
Que Sera Sera

when I was just a little girl
I asked my mother whatever will I be,
will I be pretty, will I be rich,
my mother said to me:

Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be
the future is not ours to see
Que Sera Sera

when I was young, I was married
I asked my husband what I
will their be roses day after day
May husband said to me

Que Sera Sera
whatever will be will be
the future is not ours to see
Que Sera Sera

"Work smarter, not harder."

Recently, business psychologists from Harvard, UNC, and HEC Paris published the results of a series of productivity experiments they ran:

The results? Those who spent time to reflect after the first task did significantly better than the first group. Whether they wrote down their strategies or not, simply thinking about the work they did made them better than powering through the rest.

The scientists repeated the experiment with another batch—this time students—and a different set of teasers, with similar results.

Next, the researchers took their experiment into the real work world. They found a tech support company in India, and got it to agree to let them tamper with their new employee training—just a bit.

At the end of the training program, the employees in the Reflection and Sharing groups scored 22.8% better than their non-reflecting counterparts on the final examination. (In school, this could be the difference between a D and an A!) There wasn't a big difference between the Reflection and Sharing groups' performance.

In short, the psychologists wrote, "Individuals perform significantly better onsubsequent tasks when they think about what they learned from the task they completed."

And also, "Interestingly, we do not observe an additional boost in performance when individuals share the insights from their reflection efforts with others."

This bucks against common wisdom in two ways:

1. It turns out that hard practice (the oft-misinterpreted 10,000 hour rule) is not the end-all formula for learning success. Rather, taking time to think about one's experiences increases learning and reinforces subsequent performance.
   
2. Though it's commonly taught that teaching others what we've learned reinforces our own learning, that's not true. We conflate the learning benefits of act of reflection that must precede teaching with the non-existent benefits of the act of teaching itself.

It's well-known that "learning by doing" works. One can study the mechanics of a golf swing in a classroom all day long, but it's not until she hefts the club herself that she actually can master her swing. What this research tells us, however, is that after she swings the golf club a few times, if she sits and thinks about it, she'll likely learn more effectively than if she swings it 1,000 times and goes to bed. The studies indicate that this is particularly true if we're doing knowledge work (as they did not actually study golf swings).

What does this mean for us?

First of all, it means that every time my father told me to go to my room and think about what I'd done, rather than occupying me with some sort of menial punishment, he was making me smarter.

More importantly: We wrongly equate long hours and "working through lunch" with productivity. It turns out, that's hard work, but not smart work.

Studies show that between 1973 and 2000, American workers added 199 hours to their average work schedule—or five weeks of work. Meanwhile, labor productivity went up. And since smartphones and Facebook, we increasingly fill the crannies in our days with entertainment, communication, and content.

The time we spend to simply sit and think is increasingly scarce. We're too busy to stop and smell roses, yet science is telling us that a few minutes of unruffled time to think about what we're doing will significantly increase our performance at work. If we simply allotted 15 minutes for reflection after each meeting and at the end of each day, we'd get a lot more done than if we powered through every second of our day with more work, and filled the holes with frantic email-checking and status-updating.

It turns out that it doesn't take much to work a lot smarter. We just need to find the willpower to create some space.

Brigid Schulte, Leisure is the new productivity

“Leisure is the new productivity.”

We spend too much time working, as a result, we have a lot of unproductive, sick, unhappy, burned out, and disengaged workers. Ironically, we are less productive, creative, and innovative than we would be if we had more time off.

Our continual state of busyness, prevents us from entering the loose, associative mental state in which unexpected connections and aha! insights are achieved. 

Although we may appear idle while daydreaming or mind wandering, the brain is actually working especially hard in these moments, tapping a greater array of mental resources than are used during more methodical thinking. 

This unfocused “default mode,” is like a series of airport hubs in different and typically unconnected parts of the brain. When activated, it puts together stray thoughts, makes seemingly random connections and enables us to see an old problem in an entirely new light.

If we don’t allow our minds to have this kind of downtime—because we’re always under stress and on deadline, always making calls and checking email—such connections and insights won’t materialize.

At work and at school, we expect people to pay attention, to focus. To focus on one thing, you have to suppress a lot of other things. Sometimes that’s good. But sometimes a solution to a problem can only come from allowing in apparently unrelated information, from giving time to the quieter ideas in the background.

We need to make room in our lives for two distinctly different kinds of mental activity: the directed, focused attention usually expected of us at work and at school, but also a more diffuse and leisurely state in which we’re focusing on nothing in particular. 

“Oscillating” between these two modes—a kind of interval training for the mind—is the best way to reap the benefits of both kinds of thought.

As we move ever further into a knowledge economy, in which ideas are our products, we have to think about where ideas come from. Where they come from, is not only from conventional work, but from productive leisure.

John Keating, Dead Poet's Society

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. 
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. 
And the human race is filled with passion. 
And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. 

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, 
these are what we stay alive for. 

To quote from Whitman, 
"O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; 
of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; 
what good amid these, O me, O life?" 

Answer. 
That you are here - that life exists, and identity;
that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. 

What will your verse be?

Jan Lokpal Bill - who guards the guardian!

In current situation Raja, kalmadi have openly amassed wealth which makes HISTORY's top looters. (Britishers Looted 900 crores, they have looted 2,000,000 Crores)

Govt's response:
- 1 st totally ignore the problem, in fact benefit from it.
- Once HUUUGE cry is raised by opposition+media....just dismiss the person.
- Then nothing ..... no money recovered, no Jail.
- Supreme court is hampered by impotent CBI, in-efficent systems Etc.

- This seriously raises other concern: "Lack of fear of punishment"
If we know we cant be punished for out misdeeds, then we will loose any "inhibitions"...Think what u can do if you know police cant touch u.

More and more people become corrupt, society get's destroyed from within and nation collapses ...not soon but in next 40-50 years [ you can see example of many African and Arab countries]

- For any society, the concept of "punishment" is CORNER-stone. Without it, their can be no order or civilization.

- Balances in Lokpal are simple & elegant

...members selected by collegium---the collegium members itself are people a TOP of their fields, the winners, the cream of society (unlike career criminals and uneducated people in parliament)

They in turn selected like minded people of excellent credentials.

These people (Lokpal) themselves are open to great public scrutiny.

People in Lokpal can be monitored by intelligence agencies (RAW) for "COMPLETE" list of assets & transactions. A Lokpal member should not be able to buy a mobile phone without RAW knowing its potential source of income (this is very simple using computers)

- Punishment for corruption by LOKpal itself - DEATH

So we ensure
- Excellent people select "excellent Lokpal members"
- Lokpal is paid handsomely (2 lacks/month) and all their (whole family) financial transactions/assets are 100% tracked...(easy due to computers).

- Lokpal will know that even if he takes a bribe....their is no way to spend it!!
All his assets are completely tracked for LIFE and punishment is VERRRY severe. This will make HUGE incentive to act honestly. He has 100's of enemies who will pounce on him and he will act Honestly.
