It seems to the writer that some way or another is pulling you all to different ways of escaping and avoiding the facts. So the writer thinks that it is impotent to go into what it means to have a direct clean perception inwardly\/internally psychologically, untouched by anything else except for the seeing of something in it entirety? And what takes place in a mind that can do this? How is it that a human being can be so precise in their seeing\/perceiving?<\/p>\n<p>How should we start? May we look at what thought can do the computers can do also? Computers can learn, they can collect themselves, they can beat the master chess players and they have their own artificial intelligence. They can be programed to be more astute, clever and it will inform the programmer, the more or greater the capacity of the computer. Furthermore it can solve problems quicker than the human brain.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless thought creates it own intelligence and the computers intelligence perhaps is different than the intelligence of thought. As we are programmed to a certain extent (Catholic, Protestant, Muslim and so on) so is the computer. So what are the two intelligence; the artificial intelligence of the computer and perhaps the intelligence created by thought is also artificial?<\/p>\n<p>Now what is intelligence that does not belong to either? Furthermore if the computer can do all the things that thought can do, then what happens to humankind? Humankind has lived by thought and created society by thought. Humankind has created the religious, economical and social world. The problems that thought has created cannot be solved by thought. Thought may solve economical and social problems, but the writer question whether it will be able to solve the psychological problems-it can\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>So if the computers take over the activities of thought, it can diagnose, collect it self and becoming more and more informed functioning on its knowledge just as humankind does? So what is humankind then? This is the real question, what is humankind when he\/she has lived on experience, knowledge and memory, just as the computer can do? Nevertheless perhaps the computer can discover new things? What is going to happen to humankind?<\/p>\n<p>Now not everyone is going to except this as a fact, specifically those working with computers. Is there a way that we can be clear that theses thing are facts, that the computer can do all the things that thought can do? The programming of the computer is quite extraordinary but the nature of thought and its relations to how far the computers can go is still unclear? The brain can see contradiction, but whether the computer can see contradiction or not the writer doesn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>===&gt;HOLISTIC FITNESS\/LIVING HELP&lt;===<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So the computer is a tremendous simplification of the human brain but the human brain is infinite and the computer is finite. The writer is asking what is humankind to do when this computer is programmed to take over the day-to-day activities of humankind? They have already begun doing this in many manufacturers where there use to be humans doing the work. So all of these processes of the computer and thought are mechanical processes, this is all the writer is getting at. It is obvious that they are mechanical, do you agree viewers\/readers\/listeners?<\/p>\n<p>The writer has talked about thought many time with it mechanical activities and the computer is a machine, so this is quite simple. The writer is saying that insight is not a mechanical process. Which is seeing instantly into a problem and that seeing is the action to solve the problem. Insight is not based on knowledge, experience or time. It is an immediate perception and action that\u2019s not mechanical. Now it is obvious that in order for there to be an insight the logical mechanical has to come to an \u201cEND\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The computer is dominated entirely by the mechanical; this must not be in order to have an actual insight. You see to work out something regardless of what it is; it is a mechanical process that involves time. As we now use thought it is mechanical which is based on memory, experience, logic and knowledge with all the rest of it. So from that there is action and from that action we learn that is mechanical and the machine can do it far better than us. You with the writer? Now we are saying that thought is mechanical and is there a thought that is not mechanical?<\/p>\n<p>There is, this is why the writer is enquiring. Thought is mechanical because it put things in pre-determined fixed categories and this is what the computer does. Another way we can look at it is in order to classify information it has to be gathered and put into categories like here and there, now and then, before and after, inside and outside. So if this activity in the brain is absolutely fixed then the computer can do it better. You see what has happened is that humankind has become a computer with the way we uses the brain and in turn created a mechanical computer to duplicate what we are doing with the brain, are you following what the writer is saying can you see what has happened?<\/p>\n<p>Humankind has become badly programmed just like a computer. Without a predetermined structure how could the computer work? The computer has to be given some instructions, it can learn but only if it has been give instructions before, it cannot learn from nothing, the writer could be wrong. The human being may have the capacity or potential for insight but the computer can never have this capacity. Essentially it is programmed by the human mind that in it self is limited and that it is mechanical structure that is limited to its program.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital to humankind that we find out this potential to have an insight; other wise humankind is distended for the obvious. So what is that we can do to reach this potential? What the writer is saying is that it maybe a process of thought that is not mechanical and that may be the insight. And that insight that is so important, how does it come about? It cannot come about in a mind that operates the way the human mind does today, as we know it. This is obvious because it hasn\u2019t happen so far after millions of years of repeating the same thing over and over.<\/p>\n<p>If the mind is programmed to operate in a certain category or pattern all of that has to stop before this can happen there is no space for it to happen. This is where the Hindus and meditation began the writer is pretty sure of that. To stop the whole process of thought, \u201cEND\u201d it. Now what the write is asking if there can be an absolute silence in the mind, then insight may take place. A silence where there are no divisions and the perceived is no different than the perceiver then insight may take place. This means that the whole mechanical process of thought with it conflict and divisions comes to an \u201cEND\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can one find out if another has had an insight by talking to them, the writer is says yes one can. You see asking whether a human being has had an insight or not isn\u2019t the right question, but rather, does the mechanical process of thinking stop or is the mind completely occupied? Einstein and Beethoven had partial insights; one can observe this in one self to see that it has happened. In insight everything must be a whole, operating as one, your behavior, senses, physical movement and sensations everything. Furthermore one could teach this understanding if another is willing to listen, really listen. When this wholeness takes place there is complete insight, the writer thinks that\u2019s how it operates.<\/p>\n<p>It is not by chance or calculations and conscious effort it come uninvited. Which means you have a problem and you see the problem and you don\u2019t analyze it you see\/perceive it as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>===&gt;HOLISTIC FITNESS\/LIVING HELP&lt;===<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(San Jose, California)-How are you all today?
