Feelings
@Dr. Michael, Thank you for the response. No, it was not what I was saying. Emotions is unconscious and biological. The word "unconscious" just means we are not aware of it just like we are not aware of the flow of our blood. Emotional reaction is biological means there is a change in biological movement (heart rate, muscle tension, skin temperature) to something. Emotions doesn't become feelings because they are two different "things". Emotions is a biological reaction (emotional reaction) where feeling is how we "interpret and label" our experience of the reaction. They don't become conscious but it's something we can experience thru our internal senses. The subjective experience of emotions is feelings. Emotions doesn't dissapear when being awared just like heart beats doesn't dissapear when being awared. It is like with our visual experience, our eyes move all the time reacting and scanning our environment (this is emotion), but we focus on selective visual experience that we call "seeing" (this is feeling).
Emotion reacts to stimuli, including audio stimuli such as music. We usually say "music affects our emotion". If the music feels pleasant, "I like it". Since feeling is only label and interpretation of emotional reaction, MUSIC DOESN'T AFFECT FEELING. Music doesn't affect feelings just like we can't verbally ask a person "Could you get angry with me?" They will look at us like we are crazy. But, we can give them something to get angry about. That something is the stimuli that emotion reacts to. So, music affects emotion. The how part is another question. THat's what the excellent article that Imhe provided tried to answer.
Having said all that, we do have experience with music, listening or creating, for the sensation or feelings of the emotional reaction to it. There is an interaction between the sound and the cognitive-emotional reaction that triggers our reward system when we listen to a music we like. This is like smoking. It is not the nicotine that some people are addicted to. They are addicted to the pleasant sensation as the result of interaction between chemical in the nervous system and the chemical in the ciggarettes. They are addicted to the feelings they get. Our experience is music is similar in a way that what we like is the feelings we get as the result of interaction between our nervous system and the sound that we hear.

A tree fall into a forrest, if there is no one to hear a sound, does it make a sound?
reality is logically inferred with or without perception
abstract imagination is inferrence
of unknown based on the known
we don't know either one of the sound with or without the hearing
mind is nothing but logical infference
and played like drama
and it s called world and life
what do I think about this? What does others think about this?
everything is good enough and why bother
nothing is important
it's all good
not my problem
observe to recover?
training for the mind?
I just realize my passive nature
my blindspot all my life
how I just take whatever come my way
and adjust myself to environment
change myself to please others
huge "self" to manipulate
and process and try to understand
with no defense and no participation
no interaction before processing
external locus of control
is helpless and accept things as they are
play victim stance
not fighting and try to please others
making self feels better by produce own pleasure
or avoid negative situation and manipulate others to be happy
afraid to make ripples or to take risks
just being passive and take whatever is given
not accepting self in order to accept others
sacrificing self for others
sacrificing self to be safe and to be loved

trigger
I like to read, to watch, to think about something, to fantasize and to talk about something
what do they have in common? they are object and content and they have meaning
they trigger sense of pleasure
they take me away from sensory direct experience
discipline and acceptance is opposite
like acceptance and not acceptance
we tend to accept the health, non problematic
and not to accept non healthy and problematic
it's a preference
discipline is to make it happen
discipline is not natural
natural discipline is natural behavior
discipline often times rigid social control
anxiety or pain, such as in xtreme activities or self harm behavior, trigger natural "painkiller"
this is why we seek anxiety and sabotage our life to manipulate our body to produce this pleasure.
it is a compulsion
we seek misery for the reward
we raise the ante from time to time
we can't sleep without the pleasure and to produce the pleasure we must feel the pain first.

Discipline
Is discipline the opposite of acceptance? criticism and order as the opposite of letting?
there is no argument of reports
we argue inference and especially fight judgements
forgiving mistakes of others and self
addiction to external mind objects for pleasure and anxiety

love
Love is passive reciprocical reaction (it doesn't have to be social, but it is reciprocial). It is not about "to love" but as "being loved". Social love occurs in interpersonal environment where reciprocal can happens in interpersonal but also intrapersonal environment. (I may agree with you here that love may have no external object, but love always have objects. This is what I mean by non preferential/partial in earlier post.). I will argue that all experience have a reciprocial relationship between the behavior, mental, and feelings. This reciprocial relationship makes an experience. We have an experience and we tell a quality of the experience with feelings, a "sense of love". Like you said earlier when I ask you how you tell if you are in oneness, you feel it all over your body. That's called feelings.
Feelings is the most important among the three (Suffering is nothing but feelings. Enlightenment is the absence of afflictive emotions or sufferings like darkness is the absence of light. There is no such thing as darkness like there is no such thing as suffering). This feeling is what "love" people talk about. It's the sense of love we have, positive or negative. The problem with attachment based love is the presence of negative/afflictive emotion/feeling that comes when the object of our love leaves or gives the love to another, the thorns of the roses.
This is the most important part. Feelings is reactive. It tells us not how much we love but how much we are loved. The so called "social needs" is our needs of being loved, accepted, and approved. Afflictive social emotions, such as grief, tells us about the loss of love coming our way. Jealousy tells us about missing the love that goes somewhere else. The world focuses on the active loving of others, but that's not what we need. Like we must be fed with food, we must be loved first. Our feelings tells us how much love we receive. For example, in romantic love, I like a person. During courting, my sense of love will go up and down based on how much she likes me. All my feeling care about is not how I love, but how much I was loved/she loved me. If all I care about is "I like her", my feelings will not go "roller coaster" on me.
WHat's the problem with conditioned attachment based love? Our sense of love depended on/conditioned on external objects of our love that may change mind, that may dissapear, that we have no control over. Afflictive emotions only shows up when we don't get what we need, just like hunger.
In conditioned attachment based love, there is dissapointment because our sense of love depended on external locus of control. We feel happy when they care and we don't when they don't.
Due to the frustration of the conditioned attachment based love or for some people who got hurt or deprived of their love needs, they say there must be other ways. They go inside. Remember the passivity, it is not about loving the self, that would be narcissistic. The narcissist who love the self has the same problems with people who has compulsion in loving others, they just turn it to himself. They are denying their needs to be loved or experiencing past severe neglect of being loved, that they must do it themselves to love themselves.
It is about "being loved by the self". This takes a high level of vulnerability/intimacy and level of trust with oneself that it's spiritual. It takes high level of openmindedness to listen to oneself. The language people use usually "be with oneself". There is sense of freedom just to be without any conditions and I have all I need to be happy. Some people even reach ecstassy from the joy that they are free. At this level, we are speaking about mystical experience where words sound wierd trying to explain it. Some people talk about "making love to God", "bride/groom with the beloved". There is a high level of intoxication feeling present from the sense of love but without dissapointments. At this level, language breaks down because it is not needed.

Einstein
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

Reaction
observe the reaction to anything
what we learn from the world
about negative values of things
they tell us what is good as bad
based on what people fear and their own wrong messages
people don't speak directly
there is subliminal judgement below
two values or multi values?
false inference.
observe how i act to others
the negative reaction based on my own fear and wrong messages
how many times do we tell others what they do is wrong
based on social convention or our self righteousness or our co dependent needs
how many times we agree when people tell us we are wrong
based on the same things
I correct and critisize people
people correct and critisize me
one is outward, one is inward (superego)
self controlled by many, self try to control many...
we first derive pleasure from them before being controlled by them.
MIND IS OUR REACTION
FROM COMMUNICATION MODEL, WE DECODE OUR ENVIRONMENT OR SPEECH
1. EMOTIONAL REACTION - JUDGEMENTAL, TWO VALUES, MULTI VALUES
2. COGNITIVE REACTION - PERCEPTIONAL/OBJECTIVE PHILOSOPHICAL REACTION
FEEDBACK:
1. EMOTIONAL FEEDBACK REACTION - POSITION, ARGUMENTATIVE STYLE
2. COGNITIVE REACTION
EMOTIONAL VALUE JUDGEMENT ALWAYS COME FIRST BEFORE THE PREMISE
"WANT", "DON'T WANT" IS BASIC LANGUAGE

Compulsiveness
I used to think that compulsiveness is only about feelings
to be busy, always doing something, thinking about something
looking up internet, facebook, linked in,
as long as there is always SOMETHING
compulsiveness to activities and objects
like children must have tv and get bored if they don't
need constant visual stimulation
need constant cognitive stimulation
social stimulation
relates to the needs?
the opposite of compulsiveness is boredom, craving
always needs objects to play with
like spoiled children who gets bored easily
compulsiveness to pleasure
innate pleasure rather than learned pleasure
innate is something that a person naturally likes
learned is someting a person must learn to like
why not? to go seek one's pleasure
to seek one's own self importance instead of other's self importance
the world was wrong
there is no problem with compulsiveness
only when we worry about it, that's the problem
our reaction to it...
It is proggressive
the stimulation gets stronger and stronger to trigger pleasure
as the mind gets used to it and the novelty wear off
we seek stronger more extreme stimulation
louder brighter sharper stronger stimulation just to feel it
that requires more energy to produce
more depression and strong anxiety
however, more capability for stronger trance

happiness
Things get sick, old, and die
don't derive happiness from them
derive happiness from freedom
not only self that is important, nothing is important
not only self important, but otherself important
how they like to have me make them important
this is freedom
don't derive happiness from them
derive happiness from freedom
not only self that is important, nothing is important
not only self important, but otherself important

needs
we try to meet needs: physical, safety, social
we will meet the needs based on importance and sabotage the less important needs
like Borderline sabotage social needs for safety needs
Raw unprocessed emotion is a raw nerve
like a borderline wall of nerve when hit
what is emotion but a nerve stimulation?

Mind focus
my mind is scattered and has no energy
put the mind in the now, in an object
it is not simply to think about the object, to imagine the object
dynamically
but to put statically our mind to the static object
to be quiet and put in rest
learn to concentrate by focusing on one object
using one sense, any senses will do
to develop the power and stamina
get into trance of freedom
then stay on it...

Why am I restless?
because the real you doesn't understand
that mind is not real, it's not concrete
you haven't made peace with it
you are afraid to stop moving
suffering should remind you to meditate...
because the real you doesn't understand
that mind is not real, it's not concrete
you haven't made peace with it
you are afraid to stop moving
suffering should remind you to meditate...

Narcissism
Is Narcissism a Social Needs craving?
social needs traumatic unmet?
that most personalities disorders are social needs related?
and phobias are safety needs craving?

complementary mind
a person is not what he is, what he hides
we don't know this because we got fooled by the act
when we perceive something we like the total idea, total experience
if we hear verbal message, our mind makes up the absent emotional and behavioral message
our mind makes up the absent experience
we actually are influenced more by the emotional and behavioral message
how something is heard or something is seen, not the what
what a person is.
verbal message is important, but the person makes stronger impression
verbal, emotional, behavioral, the person.
infered by the mind than the message itself
we mindread
we make up the emotional, behavioral, the cognitive
even the self itself
we like complete picture and static
this is where the mind comes in
giving us complete picture
triggering emotional reaction to emotional messages
as precursor for actions
like seeing symptoms of tornado and to get out before it hits
it's a gift, it's also a curse
great for survival, bad for "short term" relationship
Nature is "good" when it is seen from a distance
when it is seen for the long term and as a group, not individual

Peace
I search for original
brutal search for truth
regardless of who says it
or denomination
it doesn't have to have a name
or who it belongs to
truth is like God, it's everywhere and inside everything
at the same time, it's a destination waiting at the end of the journey
it's the most bottom of the ocean and the furthest end of the sky
it's not searching for truth, it's traveling to it
partial elements of truth in everything as clue
until arriving at the end where there is no more false
"making peace" with my experience is impossible
making peace with myself is the only way...

health
Health is temporary
like youth and life is temporary
no,
more appropriately, physical health, youth, and life is temporary
it has shorter age span than psychological health, youth, and life
for a person can keep their psychological health, youthfulness, and life until
they walk out of this world.
Attitude is a mood or theme we have about something.

Self
I am not who I say I am
I am not who I think I am
I am who do, talk, and think
I am not the content, an object of my thought
I am the subject who makes the object
A person is not who he say he is
A perseon is not who he thinks he is
A person is not even who I think he is
A person is he who does, talks, and thinks
He is not the content, an object of my or his thought
He is the subject
Only in the presence, he appear
not in absence, only in thought and speech
there is partial truth in thought and speech, but only not much

Human
Human is biologically weaker than animals
when we build anything, we build it to last a long time
like building a house
unlike animals who can live in natural environment
human doesn't do well with change
but we have animal's emotion but a tamed/weak ones
due to development of cognition
well, you win some, you lose some
false sense of self is like inflamation or itchiness
feels good when scratched, but is gonna get worse
it's something we play with by increasing its power
nothing but pretend play in fantasy world
"If I am..., I feel good"
like getting what I like feels pleasurable

Disability
A person is disabled when he is not independent physically or even emotionally
or even financially?
Human life is so competitive and complicated that it is not enough to have biological abilities to survive
there are so many new skills to keep up to compete
It is not enough just to be literate, we must be computer literate now
it is not enough to graduate from high school, we must have college education, even post college education to gain advantage
we must be street smarter, book smarter, people smarter
I feel so handicapped even with all the experience and skills that I have.

The terrestrial biological phenomenon is an energetic phenomenon which is auto-catalytic (i.e. it reproduces itself through nonlinear, biophysical and biochemical self-accelerated processes), and also autopoietic (i.e. it constantly redefines itself, supporting and reproducing itself in its interior). Biological systems are thermodynamically open, transient energetic systems, free to exchange energy and matter with the environment. Their very existence depends on an ability and capacity to make the most of a suitable (biocompatible) external energy source.
The progenitors of all biological systems were specific auto-catalytic organic molecular systems (Ageno’s lipid envelopes) which gave rise to protocells (biological evolution is the history of the integration and individualisation processes undergone by the biochemical and biophysical relationships which define a biological organism).
The protocell is a nonlinear, dynamic system that is more individualised (defined, localised) and more integrated (variable complexity in information processing and reporting) than an organic molecular system. The evolution of protocells gave rise to cells.
A cell is a reticular system of nonlinear sub-energetic/energetic biophysical processes at a phase limit between chaos and order. These processes govern the generation of integrated biochemical relationships, which in turn give rise to a reticular system of atomic/supra-atomic structures, organised in such a way as to form a structural and functional unit which is well defined and delimited by a membrane.
As a whole, the cell is an energetic system which is more efficient and more productive than any of its structures or processes taken singularly. In general, a cell is an energy system governed by nonlinear biochemical and biophysical relationships, which are more stable and more integrated than those which define a protocell, whose dynamic is in turn more stable and more integrated than organic molecular systems.
Cellular energy balance is the central factor around which the entire cellular dynamic revolves: if, during the time and space of its existence, the biological system is able to achieve an adequate energy gain, then its adaptability and its phylogenetic continuity will have a good probability of fulfilling themselves, but if this energy gain is not assured, the system may be doomed to mutation or extinction1.
To avoid extinction and to survive, all biological systems, from the simplest to the most complex, utilize and develop two types of closely interrelated and interdependent energetic/adaptive strategies:
- one tends to adapt the system to the unconditional variations imposed by its surroundings (the force of gravity and the earth’s magnetic field, the terrestrial geo-climatic macro-system, cosmological changing relationships, geological eras, cyclic weather and climate events, etc.).
- the other tends to adapt the variables conditioned by its surroundings to the system’s need for survival (conformation of the land, underwater environments, the atmosphere, the availability of bio-compatible energy resources, etc.).
- cannot rely on linear processes (feedback loops) of problem solving, which lack information and limit the system’s tolerance to environmental pressure, but instead must turn the solutions into problems (feed-forward) by exploiting the nonlinearity of natural processes, which is rich in information (capacity to generate interference) and in a position to guarantee the system functional plasticity and structural tolerance (the nonlinear - fractal – the turning of solutions into problems is the motor behind learning and is contextualized through it),
- cannot exist as independent facts severed from the context, but must exist as facts dependent upon the contest, since they are a part of it and of its dynamic (dependency on environmental variation induces biological variation which goes to producing ecosystems).
One of the many variables which accompany the diversification of biological systems is the different proportion between the degree of adaptive pressure exerted by the system on the environment, and the pressure exerted by the environment on the system.
Clearly, extreme environmental conditions, such as the ones on our planet more than three billion years ago, imposed rigid limitations on the formation and survival of proto-biological systems. Also because of this, the planet we inhabit today has been populated by colonies of the same category of unicellular marine organisms, (chemo-magnetic-photo-synthetic prokaryotes) for hundreds of millions of years.
After around three billion years, the level of their adaptive pressure on the environment, the evolution of forms of energy transfer, the production and exploitation of biocompatible energy, and the huge release of gaseous oxygen into the atmosphere, allowed the biological phenomenon to make a phylogenetically epochal bifurcation (the third after those of the passage from organic molecular systems to protocells, and from protocells to cells). With the Cambrian Era this bifurcation marked a decisive turning point in the history of the evolution of strategies destined to fulfil energy needs: genotypic and phenotypic diversification (cell differentiation), and with it the formation of multi-cellular organisms.
Until the Cambrian Era, biological evolution revolved around the development of biochemical and biophysical strategies, aimed at fulfilling energy requirements. From the Cambrian onwards a new solution amongst energy requirements started to sketch a second way for the biological colonisation of our Planet Earth: adaptation by a huge diversification of behavioural strategies.
Every evolutionary bifurcation is marked by the availability of a surplus of expendable energy for the diversification and/or integration of processes which govern the fulfilment of energy and/or adaptive requirements.
- from a territorial model of ecosystem organisation (whose protagonists were whole clusters of unicellular organisms distributed over one or more areas, linked by a common adaptive and bio-energetic gain) to an ecosystem organisation multi-cellular model, whose protagonists were cell colonies, specialised and joined by a common structural, functional link, defined and identified in the construction of a tissue;
- from a territorial model of the unit behaviour of whole groups of cells (where individual behaviour was prescribed by the group and described by a unanimous dynamic, such as we may observe in our own time in the synchronised movements of certain schools of fish, flocks of birds, communities of ants or termites, swarms of bees, etc.), to the tissue model, where organs and systems of organs operate in synchrony for the survival and unity of the system.
The biological unit (cell), from being a composed, integrated system delimited (membrane) by a multitude of sub-cellular structures and molecular units, became an integrated cellular ecosystem (multi-cellular organism), consisting of differentiated cells, specialised according to the role and function they must play to be a choral unit.
Between the Cambrian and the lower Palaeolithic, biological diversity went through an initial upward motion and then gradually descended to a point of stillness (Jurassic).
The first appearance of the human species may be dated to recent times (4 to 5 million years ago), a period characterised by a stable equilibrium which was self-regulating and in a position to respond efficiently to environmental pressure, between a biological macro-system governed by biochemical and biophysical strategies aimed at fulfilling energy requirements, and a biological macro-system governed by the diversification of behavioural strategies aimed at adaptation.
With the human species an amazing new phylogenetic bifurcation was to take shape.
The animal Homo is an omnivore with a particularly versatile pharyngeal tract, featuring four limbs of which only two are used for travelling, while the other two are free for manipulative functions. Its peculiar imitative and psycho-perceptual skills (perception being the prerequisite for the internal representation of external reality) make it stand apart from other animals .
The animal of the genus Homo is able to mimic ecosystem dynamics, and also to translate them into psycho-perceptual images (imaginific function), to return to imitation and so on, in a relational, homo-systemic process, which deviates from the level of a behavioural stereotype towards its completion. It deviates from the level of conditioned reactions to a level of emotional response, from an imitation of a codified level to a codification of imitation. It deviates from terms of developing adaptive strategies to that of development of over-adaptive strategies, until it deviates from the imaginific plane to the plane of symbols and meanings, which after thousands of generations of tottering bipeds made them believe they were powerful enough to enter into open competition with Nature of which they are part, and as a consequence in competition with one another.
The twentieth century was the century of major scientific revolutions, triggered by quantum mechanics (which profoundly changed what we know about matter) and of Einstein's general theory of relativity (which radically changed what we know about time and space), in addition to a growing interest in the study of nonlinear dynamic systems (which changed what we know of the dynamics of physical phenomena), resulting in the introduction of epistemological and methodological tools that revolutionised the study of the extremely small and the extremely large. Results deriving from their application and the open scenarios in the interpretation of reality to which we belong, have had a significant impact outside of their areas of membership too (high energy physics, astrophysics, mathematics), substantially affecting also the standard vision of the world (creationist and positivist), including that of biological and mental phenomena.
The fields of biology and neuroscience, quantum and quantum-relativistic models, together with the Science of Chaos (the study of nonlinear dynamical systems of a chaotic kind), suggest new proposals and pose new questions about what is meant by life, consciousness and brain function, tracing horizons unthinkable even a few decades ago.
The indispensable and distinctive prerequisite for the implementation of supra-adaptive dynamics (epigenetic) of the genus Homo, is its neurological (tele-encephalic dependent) and psycho-perceptual specificity (perceiving is a more integrated function than feeling, which is more integrated than reacting, which is more integrated than mental excitability), a specificity from whose interactions with the environment, the mental fact results.
