HUMAN Flashcards
Nothing is…
Just what it is.
Absolute is…
Relative. Perception.
We censor…
And limit our beliefs to manage our life.
We are figures…
Of our own imagination.
The true event of life…
Is not in the external encountering of things, but in the felt experience of it.
Human beings are intensely social species… (4) TTRC
Team players
Trade ideas
Relish in another’s company
Communicative.
Human beings create social groups…
…that are complex and integrated to peruse common ends.
“We may think that we made music…”
“For the whole universe, in truth, we made music just for ourselves.”
Humans are (typically) able to detect the distinction between…
Make-believe and reality.
Unlike other living creatures, Humans can…
IMAGINE PATTERNS and STATE OF AFFAIRS not immediately present and OUTSIDE of BASIC SURVIVAL NEEDS.
Humans are more than naive realists, Humans respond to and consider…
…more than their basic survival needs: immediate threat / opportunity.
Products of Decoupled Cognition… (4) STF with O
1) Supposing (daydream)
2) Thought experiments
3) Imagine Fictional Events
with
4) Outcomes detached from reality
Humans can see the future-
Not an exact future, but a probable one.
Humans enter imaginative worlds with coherent…
…rules of reasoning and understanding of ontology.
Ontology
The connections and links which relate things to one another.
What is confronted, physically, in reality…
Is contemplated in our imaginations.
Input =
Bodily receptors of ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI and SIGNALS: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste. Pre-linguistic.
Pre-linguistic =
Before language is attached.
PROCESS of EXPERIENCING?
1) Body confronted by ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULUS + SIGNALS
2) Pre-Linguistically + Pre-Emotionally
3) Contemplated by our CURRENT + DOMINATE REALITY MODELS,
4) Assigned + Attached + Referenced to language, knowledge and memory.
5) Finally, the Mind prints comprehensive STORY + PURPOSE plots to imbue meaning.
6) Reaction
STORY + PURPOSE is printed by…
…the CURRENT + DOMINATE REALITY MODEL (mind) to organize environmental SIGNALS + STIMULUS into comprehensive patterns with MEANING.
The human mind is NOT bound…
…by space + time as the body is. The human mind is free to decouple with ease.
Decouple
Disattach, unfixed, unbound.
Our special habitat is…
…inside the STORYs of our imaginative mind.
PERCEPTION is in constant flux as…
ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULUS and SIGNALS change and KNOWLEDGE is gathered.
