Question6.com: We, The People are NOT HAPPY
We have a body and a soul.
Our body is made of matter. It keeps us attached to the material world. We must feed it three times a day, wash it regularly, and maintain it at the correct temperature. It is high maintenance.
The primary challenge we faced in the material world was to find a way to exchange things of equal value. How do you trade fish for perfume? We needed an interface. We invented money and abused it. Today we spend all our life working to pay our debts. We added Debt bondage to our jail.
There must be a point of connection between the body and the soul. We assume that it is in our brain. The human brain contains more than 80 billion neurons that appear to be underutilized. They are likely used at night. Our brain can be likened to a computer that is put to sleep during the day. Molds, without a head and a brain, can solve some problems better than we can. There may be other ways to utilize the brain beyond human thinking. This is where we should look for the key to escape our jail.
24 - The Brainjuice theory
There is a simple idea that would explain many aspects of human life. Our initial reaction is one of denial until later, it becomes obvious. It is the idea that
We were born in jail
We live in jail
and this jail is our own body.
We become conscious of the world through the information received through our senses, and our senses are very limited. They can only make us conscious of a small part of the material world.
We learned from our astronomers that the material world itself represents only 5% of reality. The rest is composed of dark matter and dark energy, which were previously unknown to us. That could explain why our physical body is much more complicated than the human mind.
There is even worse:
What is most important in our life, such as ideas, feelings, life, consciousness, freedom, and happiness, do not belong to the material world. We placed them in our « soul ». We cannot become conscious of them through our body’s senses.
What could possibly convince a soul to get associated with such a body?
The brain is used to transfer energy from the body to the soul and transfer thinking and consciousness from the soul to the body.
Energy
The first one is a source of energy. Any change needs energy. Your soul may be exposed to the sun’s energy, but that takes a very long time. The Earth has accumulated energy for millions of years and places it at your disposal. The energy of the sun has transformed a rock into fertile soil on Earth. The plants accumulate energy from the minerals in the soil. Animals get energy from plants. Humans collect energy from plants and animals. Earth is the planet of digestion, where plants and animals collect energy from the sun. You can get a human body that will collect energy from planet Earth and place it at the disposal of your soul. It is in the brain that this energy is transferred from the body to the soul.
Thinking
Planet Earth is a great place to develop thinking. It is not always fun, but it is efficient.
It is a place where our brain has to focus on thinking. Our teacher is the laws of Nature. We are placed in an environment where we are limited to the material world. This world represents only 5% of our reality. It is a highly restricted physical environment where the freedom of our body is severely limited. We start with gravity and get familiar with a few more laws of nature. This is how we learn to think.
After we learn to think from the material world, we can apply our thinking to the immaterial.
Consciousness
By improving our soul, we become conscious of the role we play in the universe. It may be very limited, but it makes us part of something great. We participate in the evolution of the universe.
Our struggle for freedom.
In the past 200 years, many people revolted against the dictatorship of the kings. They wanted to be free. Eliminating a dictator was a step in the right direction. It was a big step. After the dictatorship of a king came the dictatorship of money. Everything had a price, and its price became the unique way to describe its ‘value.’ Money that was created as a servant became a master. We added a Debt bondage to our jail.
Something else was reinforcing this discontent. Over the past 200 years, the world population has increased by a factor of 10. Something unexpected happened. People gathered in large cities. Many brains came together and reached a similar understanding, akin to a collective critique of the brains. Our slow evolution became an explosion.
The society we have created is not the one we want to live in.
We have a debt bondage,
a masochist bondage and
the possibility an AI bondage
Can we increase our level of consciousness?
The message we get from AI is that it is urgent to increase our level of consciousness. We have eight hours of sleep per day. That’s precisely what we need to work on consciousness.
During the day, we are overwhelmed by the information coming from our senses. They are like the sun that prevents us from seeing the stars. At night, we leave our body in bed like we leave our car in the garage. The driver is set free. There is no sound and no light. It is our opportunity to escape the 5% of the material world and see the stars.
-What happens to the 20% of the energy used by our brain? Does the brain use them to improve itself? Could this operation be painful and require some anesthesia?
-Our brain has more than 80 billion neurons that we don’t seem to use during the day. Organs that are not used wither and disappear. We could have lost those neurons many times over our 300,000-year history. They are likely used at night. Our brain can be likened to a computer that is put to sleep during the day.
-Expanding Hypnagogia and Hypnopompia is only a beginning. This is only an attempt to open a door. We have to investigate what is behind those doors.
-We have ‘geniuses’ with surprising abilities in various domains, such as Mathematics, Music, Chemistry, Painting, and many more. It seems that what is implemented in their physical body could be implemented by everybody. Some of their abilities were triggered by an accident, such as getting hit in the head. Would it be possible for them to enjoy what other people only enjoy at night during the day?
Consciousness is our next frontier.
We are in the same position as our ancestors were before they discovered agriculture. They observed seeds falling to the ground and producing more seeds. They amplified the process by burring more seeds at the right place and at the right time. We can do with consciousness what our ancestors did with seeds.
Investigating what happens to our souls during our sleep could completely change the world we live in. After the physical puberty of the body, we can experience a spiritual puberty of the soul.
