Hardware-software relation

 

Hardware-software relation

How is one born and what does one attract? There was an article today about the manner in which humans have discovered language and how is it learnt or used currently. Certain observations about the article –

Genes (potential of matter) has resulted into forming the nature of perception of the mind. So mind and matter are related. The matter is the hardware that helps the software to “run” on it. With this hardware, the quality of software is “set” by default. This means that matter determines the nature of mind/ perception/ decoding of the signals received by the environment/ response that gets generated and the imagination of existence.

One is inherently born with this framework of body and mind (collectively called as a system of vibrations). Since I am born in a human body, I develop a mind that is characteristically “human” in its outlook towards considering its own existence and shaping life therefore. A human mind cannot exist in a buffalo or an ant or a tree. It is with this inherent potential, that “language”, “music” or any form of expression (perception formed by reading space and time) is coded in a human brain and with which we are born and learn things quite easily without any training from birth. So all human vibrations are picked up by a toddler, and language, communication skills, music and anything else (within the scope of human perception) is captured (or attracted) by a toddler. So this question suggests that the potential of the mind of a particular form of existence (say a tree or a buffalo or a human being) depends on its form/ matter/ genetic material.

We should take this equation further now – and this is where we differ from other life forms. The statement is that not only the hardware informs the nature of perception (software) but the quality of software “keeps changing by the determinative faculty – intellect” and that too can affect the algorithm/ imagination/ perception and finally move beyond the constraints of the hardware toolkit!

This is the strength of the human mind – that it can, if it decides – connect with any life form and perceive anything tangible as well as intangible. By this, I mean that it can take the expression of any phenomenon manifesting at any scale (micro to macro) and hence a human mind can either be as hard as stone or as soft and subtle as space itself. It can be as fast as light or as slow as a snail. The awareness of this fluidity/ motion and its effort to control or understand or make sense of this fluidity is the hallmark of the human mind. So it can use the “same” force of perception “on itself” and just as it observes the external environment/ situation, it can as well observe the internal environment.

This continuous focus and concentration of itself can reveal vibrations and by slowing the vibrations, it can “dissolve” itself and become consciousness. This capacity is what a human being has. The presence of something motionless from which all manifestations get created – is something that a human being can realize and when a human being does, he/she no longer perceives manifestation or any kind of a motion. So the software called the “human mind” can help it perceive a state of motionless or a state of algorithm-less! Many people may believe that such a state means total death, but I believe that in a human body that is alive, such a state means to become consciousness.
