Imagination and computer peripherals

How does a computer recognize that a hardware is attached to it and how should it ‘communicate’ with the hardware device – in terms of understanding the inputs received from it? For this, we require a software driver – a set of instructions that the central processing unit understands or decodes so as to recognize the attached object and to communicate with the device. WITHOUT the instructions/ software driver, the object is useless for the CPU.

Above concept can be related to the idea of perception. We understand any situation or an object based on the process of perception and conception. Any external object is ‘perceived’ by any or in combination of 5 senses – the signals from object are soaked in by sense organs, taken to the brain centres (by nerve impulses). The intellect identifies the object and any of the added meanings attached to it (the perceptive signals are reviewed by the intellect to add more meanings) and send back responsive signals  -again as nerve impulses – and therefore we respond to the object. The object, for us, comes into existence because of this imagination process, else it would not exist for us (for the mind).  This is the process of imagination – the way in which the external world is perceived and the internal world is generated. This means that the external world remains neutral. The internal world makes the external world real. Does one exist without the other? If I see a dead person, it means the external world for that person has ended but it nevertheless goes on, which is perceived in a different way by me. And what is external world anyway? It doesn’t have any independent stand – it is a combination of consciousness, forces and manifestation. So it remains dynamic/ changing.

The process of imagination involves components of space, time, ego, feelings, intellect. These are forces that are acting on the consciousness or through which, the consciousness projects itself on the manifested world. So imagination becomes an experience, that we feel it is real and we remain attached to it. 

The crucial question becomes – what is this force? Why does a sense of attachment to thoughts and body get created? And what becomes of feelings and intellect? Why are these components created or felt?

The next set of questions to self is what are these thoughts? Why do I remain attached to pain, suffering, sorrow, anger, frustration, anxiety, stress, time, desires, prestige, fame, status etc.?  - all these are projections of irrational thoughts – of my own doing. They mean unnecessary ideas of attachment to circumstances and events or situations or people. Thus, working on thoughts is necessary so that the quality of imagination becomes empathy based, compassionate and comprehensive. That means many things related to attachment or identification of body and mind are dropped and the true potential of soul is realized. Such imagination is evolved and achieves that state of Godliness.

Thus, each person represents a thought and the potential to be Godlike. What we are seeing, is not a body or mind, but a projection of consciousness.
