Treatise on Mind

From: The Tigress

From the moment that 2 cells form a zygote, we see the

interaction of informational process - recognition, communication,
interaction, integration, re-stabilization and reproduction and or re-
structurization. This cycle of life can be seen from the barest
combinations of any two elemental components beginning at the
lowest atomic designations of energy and throughout the continuum of
increasing complexity - perhaps far beyond our capabilities to
understand. *** If consciousness can be defined as an awareness of
integrity through this process of self recognition; then consciousness
can be easily applied to that which is non-human.***

From the most basic interactions of chemistry, we find that

even on an atomic level there is to be found this type of
consciousness. We have become aware of the atom's necessary
maintenance of it's own structure through the evidence of
necessary balancing of protons, neutrons and electrons; the
importance of electron shell valences is also a reminder of this type
of integrity. Even on an atomic level, there is a form of awareness of
self-integrity in order to maintain structure and identity.

This process of awareness is also a genius of discrimination. A

form of identification of self & non self on an energetic level.
There is a borrowing, and sometimes a sharing energetically, yet when
this process of self recognition begins to fail we see the destruction of
the matter it involves <this is evident with atomic structure and also
evident at the human level in the study of cancer.> Therefore we
might look at this process of self-recognition and maintenance and
examine it's nature in order to find its function and capabilities.

When we look at different types of matter, we find that the

more simple the atomic structure of the mass, the less complex its
process of "consciousness" needs to be. Things, which are comprised
of only one atomic component, do not need complex processes of
communication between those components. Thus the level of
consciousness is rather low on an evolutionary scale of creativity, yet
we also see that these types of things are far more stable in regards to
their integrity far less vulnerable to destruction. In example, it takes
an enormously concentrated force of heat to break the integrity of an
atom...- yet a mere 2000 degree flame will not only destroy the
integrity of human consciousness, but also destroy the integrity of
the individual component molecules which form the material mass of
a human to their lowest forms as individual atoms.

When we look at the forces involved in communication of

energy, we see a flowing medium of different frequencies within a
single spectrum of energetic potential. Elemental energies and
forces<light, sound, temperature, pressure, magnetism,
electricity...>differentiate and vary in intensity and frequency yet are
very alike in that they are all means of transferring energy as a form
of communication which can be informative/stabilizing or
disinformative/destructive, depending on the structure of the
"consciousness" they encounter. It may be perceived that the more
complex the structure, the lower the frequency of the integrity of that
structure and the more vulnerable that structure is to disinformation.

The more diverse the components are that are included

within a thing, and the more efficient the means of communication
within the structure of that thing; the lower the common denomina-
tion of frequency of integrity must be in order that the informational
frequency will not be destructive to any of the component parts. To
analyze this statement we must look at other analogies within our
environment. Firstly, I would like to examine the nature of sound.
Sound waves come in varying frequencies and modulations, and as
humans we assign different notes to those steps within the frequency
spectrum which we can differentiate and perceive. If we play several
notes simultaneously, we find that in order to maintain a balance
harmonically, we must play notes that match each others modulation.

You can play a "C" note at any octave and in fact play all "C"
notes simultaneously and you will find that within the frequency
range these notes will compliment each other, in fact they will
contribute/share energy with each other. WE find similar matching if
we look at musical chording. If you play the notes "F" and "C" , the
sharing of energy vibrationally between those two ranges of
frequency will in fact create the note of "A" in the range in which
the two notes frequencies overlap. In this way communication is
informative and in fact the "whole is greater" than the sum of its parts.
Similarly, playing two notes, which lie in the same modulation
frequencies simultaneously, will increase the duration of the vibration
compared to the duration if each note were played alone.
 When we examine the sharing of electrical information at
an atomic level, we see that through the temporary sharing of
electrons in a phase path also indicates something that we might
consider as investing a thing <atom> with more than the sum of its
parts. Similarly in using electric frequencies in a series, we store
information on silicon chips which invest them with more than they
would be if one simply looked at the electrical and silicon components
alone. This transference of energy is also a transference of
information in frequencies which in many ways we are still attempting
to understand.

Simple, one component things, can sustain far higher

frequencies of energetic transmission than can complex components
of things. Frequencies which pass freely through atoms ultimately
destroy complex things such as humans when they are subject to
them. It appears that the more complex the union of the
components, the slower and more tediously complex the trans-
formation of data must be. The more complex a thing is, the lower
the vibration capability it sustains in order to maintain the integrity of
its own structure.

Energetic communication exists infinitely throughout the

universe. The transference of information through radio waves and
light waves continues back in time to the occasion of what was known
as the Big Bang. It may be that in the future we will find that in the
same way gravity and electromagnetism are also continuums of
information from times long past. Scientifically we study these
energetic continuums and yet we doubt and deny the holistic
communicative nature of the universe. We search for causes and
effects within the realms of our limited perceptions and are amazed
when we can find no causal effects to explain change.

When we examine biological life, we find that each

evolutionary adaptation seems to be an extension of the process of
self/non self-awareness and maintenance of integrity. Not only do we
see intensification of sensory perceptual abilities, but also we note that
the integrational and responsive/reactive components of the process
also have to evolve and adapt in order to stay integrated with the rest
of the "consciousness". Amoebas are "simple" life forms, and yet we
can examine them and see that each organic component within that
life form serves as an informational and communicative component
within the process of maintaining the integrity <life> of the whole.
When this communication process or any part of it ceases, the
organization of the organism begins to deteriorate and eventually
ceases and dies. In biological life, we find that though we have
maintained the use of electronic communication on some neural
levels, we have sunk to the depths of transferring actual molecular
compounds <proteins, amino acids...> in most of our organic
processes. Even the human brain, supposed highest achievement
of organic life forms, requires base molecular salts in order to
process electrical information. Our complexity denies us the speed of
light, radio, and other faster and higher frequency modes of
communication except from outside of ourselves.

The human consciousness is a genius of discrimination. We

use the abilities of discrimination to identify those stimuli which come
from outside of our biological forms in order to protect and maintain
our integrity <life. We use our senses <inefficient though they may
be> to gather and interpret pure energetic communications such as
the radiated energy of sunlight and we are so inefficient at
interpreting that data that we can only sense light and heat and it
destroys those sensors that gather that information through blindness
and sunburn if we continue too long in our attempts. Yet, conversely ,
we need the information from sunlight which stimulates our organic
forms into producing vitamin D <without which we would die>. Is
this a remnant of photosynthetic capabilities from less or complex
integrations, or merely a new attempt at further increasing our
potential?

As organic forms of consciousness, we are sorely limited in our

perceptions of the universe. Limited in exploring the possibly
limitless ranges of energetic exchange simply due to the limits placed
upon communication due to the complexity of our component
structure. Yet rather than admit to our limitations, we seek further
exploration through the development of tools made from things less
complex than ourselves. In the laboratory, we use light waves and
shaped silicon to create microscopes to increase our sense of visual
acuity within the spectrum of visible radiation imaging. In the studio,
we use simple cones flattened vegetable matter and electronic
amplification to create tools to compensate for our limited aural
perception. We have created many tools out of simpler and less
complex components in order to reach those higher frequencies of
information which are either so far removed from us as to be
imperceptible, or so destructive to us that we dare not experience
them ourselves.

The human zygote from the moment of conception is a

discriminating consciousness which is involved in the differentiali-
zation of its components in order to develop finer levels of complexity.
This fetus is also even before birth learning to interpret
communicative energies from the outer world in order to begin
definition of itself, its integrity and its maintenance of self apart
from the influence of "other". Cells, joining together in communi-
cation to form co-operative systems each with separate response-
bilities to the whole. Organs with specific functions supporting the
organism in its fight to maintain its integrity. Consciousness of Mind,
determining the difference between self and non self, regulating the
integrity of the whole. This harmony of components within a
symphony of orchestration, this is the matter of being alive.

Despite our complexities, despite recognition of our vulnerabil-

ities and limitations; we as humans are beings of arrogant mind. We
claim supremacy over all biological organisms and claim the sole right
to conscious thought <as if we were the only from of communication
we wished to recognize.> We deny our insecurities and lay claims
to great understandings concerning the universe, when we in fact do
not even understand the actual workings of our own process of
integration and communication within our own biological forms.

We claim ownership of consciousness, yet we do not even

pretend to truly evaluate the process of consciousness nor its
beginnings.

Despite our inadequacies, we assume to know the nature of the

beginnings of all life. We claim to know the "mind" of "God" <the
prime causation for all that exists> and we claim title to superiority
in emulation of this "God" - above and beyond all other forms of life
or integrity. An egotistic lot are we, who strive to seek security in
the midst of our fear, our inadequacies, our vulnerabilities; by
developing a system of belief which guarantees our security in a place
beyond our perception. We seek safety and foundation at the same
time that we reach outward to claim flight amongst the stars.

This is the paradox on humanity, of mind. Complexity found

in simplicity... using simplicity to explore a universe beyond the range
of our complex integrity. Our complex integrity vulnerable to all but
the simplest energies, while we lay grasp to use complex energies
which would destroy us in order to prove our strength. What it is we
look for, we eventually find at the expense of closing our senses to
see what really is. Perhaps it is true that the most foolish are
those who lay claim to knowledge for they have closed their minds
to further learning, and that the most wise are those who claim
knowledge of no thing, that they may learn all.
