A Million Dollars!

The other day, I was thinking about what it takes to give selflessly to others and the mechanics and motivations of generosity. The folllowing thought crossed my mind:  

Let's say there's a man who has a million dollars to spend on whatever he wants. So he decides to spend 50,000 Dollars on charity or buys a gift for someone close to him for this amount of money.

Then there is another man or woman who has 1000 Dollars to spend on whatever he or she wants. This person decides to spend 200 dollars on charity or buys a gift for someone close to him or her for this amount of money.

Now, if we do the math, the first person spent only 5% of their available disposable income on charitable giving, whilst the second person spent 20% of their disposable income.

So, who's the more generous one?

It's just a thought and a simple scenario at that, which I'm sure evokes many different views. I'm sure there are lots of different scenarios, however, it would be great to hear your thoughts, do you agree? or disagree?

Please Comment.

How is the human mind similar to a relational database?

As amazing as the human brain is, we can draw parallels between the brain and the workings of a relational database. Both store data, both have subsections, divisions and partitions and both link relational inter-dependent data together to form logical conclusions and outputs. These outputs manifest themselves as our actions, our thoughts, our opinions, our words and in fact, our relationship with everything that we interact with. Here is a more detailed explanation:

Anything that we do or say that is expressed in any way can be considered as an output of the relational aspect of our brain making connections between different forms of information. This is the basis of learning, of art, of science and more or less of everything that we do. Also, if you really think about it, taking the example of art, what is art anyway? It is simply a manifestation, a realization or materialization into reality of how the artist’s mind has connected different information and related it together just like a database would if it were allowed to do so by the programmer.

Yet, some connections made by the mind may not seem logical as in the paintings of Salvadore Dali, but that is only because everyone does not see logic in the same way. Nevertheless, we admire and respect the work of such great thinkers because we admire the unique way their minds make relational connections between what they perceive and what they produce from such perception.

But what about someone we consider to be completely logical such as an engineer or doctor. Could such people be considered artists? Why so? Because if an engineer creates a new design or a doctor creates a new cure, then surely their minds too will have had to make relational connections between disparate data or information to come to an output which is manifested as the new design or the new medical cure. So what makes the doctor or engineer, both also involved in the process of creating any different from the artist, other than the fact that they are simply working in different fields? (Here I am assuming a doctor involved in independent research or an engineer with the freedom to design new products).  

Therefore, if we look at the human mind as a relational database, we can start to understand how the structure of logic is formed at its very fundamental level and how information that we take in using our five senses, although totally unconnected at the point of inception, eventually becomes connected within the neural network of the mind. The brain is therefore able to intricately analyze and connect disparate and abstract data to form coherent logic structures, which being infinitely different in their permutations, enable us to make sense of the World around us also in infinitely different, yet equally logical ways. This is somewhat of a paradox right? But somehow, it all works like clockwork

The brain does this automatically non-stop every day for the duration of our lifetimes. Yet we still ask the question, what makes our mind different from the workings of a very complex relational database, which just like the mind, can connect huge amounts of different data in different ways to produce either the same output every time or different outputs every time? The only difference I believe is who makes the rules about how the connections are made - think about it :-)

Here is a video providing a more detailed explanation of my ideas on art:

Here is a link on the how Sigmund Freud's ideas influenced the work of some famous abstract artists:

The psychology of men who send people to war

What kind of a man does it take to send another man to war to face certain death or indeed psychological trauma from which he may never recover? From which he may lose so much of his sense of self-worth, that he may one day, if not killed in the war itself, then decide to take his own life (as has happened to so many war veterans over the years like those from Vietnam and more recently, the Gulf War(s) (See links).

I think, it takes a complete disassociation with basic human emotion, a complete abstraction from compassion and above all, a complete personal denial that other men are human at all. Such is the case with any war politician who can happily send his countrymen to war justified by false or non -existent evidence. A contrived war, a manufactured war, a war to last for over 10 or even 20 long years, or maybe even a never-ending war to take the lives of the noble to serve some esoteric, yet far from noble purpose.

I'm not talking about real wars which serve to fight tyranny, dictatorship and oppression. I'm talking about wars contrived for financial or political gain. Wars that serve no other purpose than to fill the pockets of a small group of individuals or perhaps to spread their political influence. To carry out such heinous acts really takes someone who either cannot feel emotion at all or is emotionally dead, or perhaps can feel emotion, but does not see his fellow man as a man at all, but simply an expendable resource.

There are such people, whose heritage breeds a separate race to us mere mortals. A race devoid of understanding of what it is to be a man who loves his family and country and will give his life for them, believing he is fighting for a just and noble cause. A race that sees others outside its own select group to be simply fodder to feed the war machine, a race that does not view those others as fellows of the same kind and therefore feels nothing of their pain, for their pain does not exist, cannot exist, as of course, they too must be emotionless. Like them, how could anyone be any different?

Is there Logic in the idea of Re-incarnation?

This one took me some time to figure out, but here goes:

Many faiths believe that there exists such a thing as reincarnation, whereby a soul leaves one body and enters another to create a new being. This, of course, brings into question the existence of a soul in the first place and more importantly perhaps, it brings us to question what is the soul? I would be very interested to hear your opinion on these two questions. However, for now, here is my view:

I have mentioned in many of my videos, the idea that at the very sub-atomic level, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between particles and waves. For example, light behaves as a series of particles (photons) when studied using one specific methodology, yet it also behaves as a series of waves when studied from a different perspective. (please Google ‘the dual nature of light’ or ‘wave particle duality’ for a more comprehensive explanation of the experiments on light carried out by Sir Issac Newton and Thomas Young which seem to paradoxically show that light exists in both forms). Similarly, when we consider the electron, one of the most commonly acknowledged scientific findings when attempting to establish the speed and position and of an electron at a given point in space-time is that only the position of the electron or its speed can ever be known at any one time. The two (speed and position) however, can never be known simultaneously. Again, this points to the dual nature of an electron which can behave both as a wave (if you establish its speed) and a particle (if you establish its position in space-time). These scientific paradoxes provide some interesting implications for the existence and nature of the soul.   

How so? Firstly, let’s consider what we have so far from a scientific and logical standpoint. With the above analysis, it is impossible to deny that everything, absolutely everything, including you and I, are nothing more than pure energy, because as we established above, when we get to the very subatomic level, everything is just pure energy. There is no further way of subdividing subatomic particles, because when we get to such a minute level, we simply end up in the realm of wave (or energy) physics. Now, before going any further, as I always say, please don’t just believe me. Please do look up the scientific proof by carrying out the above searches yourself.

Now, if we are all pure energy and energy can neither be created nor can it be destroyed (again a basic scientific principle that I would advise you to look up if you are not aware of it already), then all that happens to us, all of us, is that all our energy is simply transformed from one form to another. Therefore, each of us and in fact, everything in the universe, which constitutes pure energy, was always in existence in one form or another and always will continue to be in existence for eternity (is eternity / infinity a reality?, well, that’s another debate, for another time). Basically, this means that we have always existed in one form or another as living or non-living matter. (What is the difference between living and non – living matter? Very little, I believe, however, this is another debate for another day).

Now, the soul can be considered to be the basis of all that is living, for as we often hear, every living creature has a soul. So what is the soul? Essentially it is the one thing that makes me, me and makes you, you. It is basically the unique energy set that has come together to make us what we are. Each of us can be considered to have a unique soul and equally, each of us can be considered to have a unique energy signature which is our unique set of subatomic energies, put together exactly in a specific way that is unique exclusively to us. So logically speaking, we can say that the soul is the specific concentration of energy that constitutes a living being. It is the driving force, the final piece in the puzzle, the ‘je ne sais quoi’, in fact, the critical factor that makes all the difference. Thus, if this unique energy ‘grouping or signature’ did not exist, then neither would the living creature and therefore, neither would the soul of that creature. So far, so logical, right?

Now we can ask the interesting questions. Firstly, do we and our souls exist? Yes, of course, because our energy signature or fingerprint exists as a manifestation of a person or other living creature and the soul is very much that unique energy signature. Next, what is the soul? I believe that, if you and I are nothing more than a concentration of waves which are themselves the natural manifestation of pure energy, then reincarnation is the reformation of that energy to form a new being and that, my friends, is the nature of the soul and indeed of the transference of the soul from one being to another.

In fact, we could say that it is the energy signature itself that is the exact description of the soul and it is this energy signature that is constantly undergoing transformation and transference, thereby causing the phenomenon of reincarnation. This is logical, for as we said earlier, energy is never created or destroyed, so it must go somewhere right?

On a more physical level, the constituent chemicals and minerals that constitute a body are broken down to their constituent parts (by fire, when an individual is cremated, or back into the ground when an individual is buried) and ultimately they must go somewhere, right?

Taking the example of what the Hindus say, that you may return as a different creature in another lifetime, based on how you lived this life, I believe is a plausible possibility, because after all, if you are cremated (as most Hindus are), then your constituent chemicals, become dispersed and indistinguishably become at one with the air that ultimately, every living creature breathes and so therefore, does your energy signature. So your constituent parts will ultimately be consumed by other beings to ultimately form new beings. If this is not re-incarnation then what is? Similarly, if you are buried - and assuming you were not buried in a non-corrosive, chemically inert vessel - then ultimately, part of the constituent and inherent energy signature of the chemicals and minerals that make up your body and therefore your soul, will equally be re-incarnated within creatures that consume those chemicals and minerals during the decomposition and assimilation of your body by the earth. During this assimilation, your unique energy signature is equally assimilated, altered and transferred to make up the energy signature of other creatures, resulting once again in reincarnation. Your soul is effectively re-incarnated within different living creatures every time that energy shift takes place. So if during this lifetime you had an energy signature similar to that of a particular animal or plant, then it is feasible to imagine that if that energy signature does not change too significantly once your body breaks up into it's constituent parts, the energy signature of you, being similar to that of another animal or plant, my then actually re-materialize to form that plant or animal or something very similar.

So, for me, re-incarnation is nothing more than transference of energy from one form to another. Based on this logic, therefore, it is very likely, that if in this lifetime, your way of life emulated the way of life of, say a particular creature, then your energy signature will equally match the energy signature of that creature and the natural tendency of your energy signature will be to re-form as that creature or into something approximating that creature. Of course this point delves perhaps more than necessary into a specific way of philosophical thinking, combining philosophy with theoretical physics, nevertheless it is an interesting point to consider. Nevertheless, this logic is the main point of this short article, postulating that reincarnation does exist and is real, it is just a matter of how you look at the logic of it ;-)

Interestingly, this logic is explained in ancient Vedic scriptures and has been understood for thousands of years by many Far Eastern Scholars, Scientists and Philosophers. Yet, in our modern, fast-paced society, we very often see only the surface of the true underlying logic. Today, we only see slices and cross-sections of the full truth and based on these slices of information, we attribute all subjects concerned with deeper questions regarding who and what we are, to the realms of mythology and religious speculation. This is why I believe that in the history of mankind, there has already existed a far deeper knowledge of science than what is perceived by modern science today. The underlying questions and the motivations of ancient science were different to modern science, for ancient science sought to answer a different set of questions to those we ask of modern science.

Maybe, just maybe, the ancient Vedic scholars knew about the dual nature of light. Maybe they knew about the nature of electronic motion and maybe they understood all too well, particle-wave theory. But here, I have tried to explain how they used this knowledge in a very different way to answer very different questions to our modern questions. If we use our science today for one thing and the ancients used the same science for a completely different thing, yet with equally effective results, then how can we possibly ignore and discard such a fundamental area of research? It’s a little bit like having only half of something, like a chair without legs, a home without electricity or a car without tyres.

This takes me on to the point that it is not just that a civilization needs to be advanced in its science, which we might consider ourselves to be, compared to earlier times, but it is also a matter of how we use our science and the questions we ask of it that is equally important. In ancient times I believe, advanced science was used to explain the fundamentals of life whilst today, we use and prioritise our science to improve our lives. Whilst both are important, the imperative thing to realise is that both uses of advanced science and the questions asked of it are equally vital for our survival.

 

This is perhaps why, in order for us to understand what we are today, we need to first understand the deeper and more penetrative logic of what existed before us.

In this way, how do we define our science? (This will be the subject of another post).

How to Learn Anything Fast using 'Cloud Logic'!

How many times have you tried over and over again to do something (it could be anything from fixing something in the home or trying to resolve a technical problem with your phone or computer) only to find that it simply does not work no matter what you try? So eventually, you decide to just walk away from it all and try again another day. Then, you go back to the problem some time or some days later and suddenly you see a new perspective you missed before, you try it and, hey presto, you resolve the problem in no time at all!

So what happened during the time in-between? What changed the second time around that suddenly made your vision clearer and gave you a fresh perspective on the problem, which then enabled you to solve it? Apart from the regular explanations like 'the second time around your mind was fresher' or 'this time around, you had less urgent matters to deal with, so you were able to focus better', I personally think there are far more powerful forces quietly at work behind the scenes within your subconscious mind, which are not given the credit they deserve for enabling you to resolve the problem second time around. I believe, your subconscious mind is creating connections which you don’t know about J

I explain this phenomenon - and nobody can say that it hasn’t happened to them, because it happens to all of us - as my theory of 'Cloud Logic'. Yes readers, you heard it here first (or at least as applied to the functioning of the mind and Emotional Intelligence anyway).

Now in order to explain how 'Cloud Logic' works and how it helps you solve problems and learn unexpected things over time, we first must consider the essential workings of the mind. Here, we consider what is genearlly known by science today, and this is that the brain processes information by transmitting and distributing electrical and chemical signals across neurons which are essentially, specialized nerve cells transmitting impulses across neural networks. Such networks or groupings of neurons allow the connecting of disparate information where a suitable connection might exist or be feasible between the information (as I mention in another post, this is not too dissimilar to the workings of a relational database, in which related fields containing linked information creates networks that manipulate data; resulting in various outputs from the database; except that neural networks are infinitely faster, more efficient and more complex than any man made relational database - See my video on 'Relational Data Model of the Human Brain below). Thus, as the neurons make more networks and these networks connect to each other where feasible or logical connections exist, so the capability of the subconscious mind increases in being able to make decisions and learn about many varied and different subjects. 

 

To envisage this on a practical level let us for example, say that you are experienced in wood carving. For many years, you have learned to feel the smooth curvature of wood forms and to 'see' with the touch of your hands, what feels like a beautiful sculpture to you, even before you start carving. You will have learnt to know how good quality a certain piece of wood is and how well you will be able to carve the form you want from it not only by looking at it, but just by the smell of it, or the color or the sound it makes when you tap it. In truth, you probably will not even be able to quantify exactly which of your senses were involved in making a decision about whether a piece of wood will 'work' for you. All you know is that you just 'know'. This is the essence of emotional intelligence, where critical decisions are made based on the neural connections and deep rooted networks created when the emotional centers of your brain are stimulated over time towards a certain subject or aspect. Now, this is in no way a conscious act; it lies purely in the realms of the subconscious mind.

Intelligence itself, by one definition, can be considered to be the ability of the mind to select between trillions of potential outcomes or possibilities, the one possibility that is optimal, a bit like a very complex and sophisticated difference engine or computer. But what separates us from computers is the aspect of emotional intelligence, whereby the neural networks of the emotional brain, lend the mental 'difference engine' a helping hand in actually deciding what actually defines 'optimal' in the first place. 'Optimal' is different for different people, so the mind, helped and guided by emotional intelligence, not only needs to decide which is the 'optimal' outcome it also needs to work out what 'optimal' actually means, without any external interference (as is the case with every computer available today which needs programming by an external operator, because unlike us, computers have no emotional intelligence capability, even the most sophisticated ones!).

Going back to the wood carver example, let us now say you, the wood carver, now decide to turn your attention to learning mathematics. Now this may seem a totally off-track subject for a wood carver to decide to learn, but let' say you have an interest and let's say that's just what you decided that you wanted to learn. Now unbeknownst to you, at your conscious level, you have already been doing complex mathematics for years in creating the curvatures and shapes of wood structures at a subconscious level. Through this ongoing subconscious process, the emotional centers of your mind will also be already accustomed to deciding the optimal outcome given trillions of possible outcomes using subconscious 'emotional' mathematics. 

But the study of mathematics (at the beginning anyway) is all about procedure and following rules. How could a wood carver, who previously only followed 'instinctive' rules, now adjust to following structured, hard rules? This is where 'Cloud Logic' comes in. Based on the idea which I discussed earlier, that neural networks seek to form connections wherever it is feasible to do so, much like a relational database, all the wood carver has to do, is to continue to learn mathematics, even if it makes no sense at all whatsoever for quite some time and simply allow the neural connections in the subconscious / emotional mind to seek each other out and form by themselves. There is no more effort required other than a genuine interest in the subject and the ability of one's emotional and subconscious mind to make connections where they exist, which it does all the time anyway. In fact, if the wood carver were to leave it to the conscious mind to do this job, he or she would get nowhere and simply become frustrated. But if he or she decided to just learn and free the mind to take information as a free flow without impediment, then he or she will be able to do complex mathematics in no time. Even the person themselves will not realize where and how the connections exist between wood carving and mathematics, but surely, they do exist and will naturally form, given the opportunity to do so.

In this way, deep hidden connections exist between many different and disparate subject matters and because as people, we become conditioned by society to be 'typecast' in who we are and what our capabilities are, the vast majority of us completely miss the opportunity of experiencing the true wide range of potential experiences and learning which we could enjoy, if only we were to trust in the capabilities of our subconscious mind to take us wherever we want to go.       

Thus, in my theory, which I call 'Cloud Logic' one could view the neural network as a cloud, much like a real rain cloud into which data and information is absorbed just as tiny moisture particles are absorbed by a rain cloud from the atmosphere. Now, in a real raincloud, these particles coalesce (or condense) to form droplets which, once they reach a critical mass, become too heavy to sustain by the cloud and so, they fall to the ground as rain drops. So it is with the brain! The brain's neural network processes the tiny 'packets' or 'particles' of data which are fed to it by the senses. The network automatically seeks connections between these packets of data and tries to make them coalesce wherever and whenever possible. When a critical mass of information is reached, which makes sense to the conscious mind, an output is created, just like the raincloud, hence the term ‘Cloud Logic’.

It is the core logic system of the brain that decides how and if, those connections should be made (This interestingly enough, could also be why we all see things differently and have differences in opinion, because after all, the core logic system is affected by our upbringing, environment and surroundings amongst other things) For now, the most important point is that we do not actually have to do anything to help the brain make those connections. The brain is automatically creating those connections without our conscious involvement in the process. Such is the power of subconscious ‘Cloud Logic’. Therefore, all we have to do is to trust our brain to make those connections and to feed the brain neural network with the raw data. The neural network ‘Cloud’ will do the rest. The process is working all the time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for our entire lifetime and especially so during our sleep (see my post on dreams), when the core data sorting and processing is carried out by the network cloud (much like a computer running a batch process at night).

Therefore, going back to the task above, when you left the problem for a few hours or days, what you actually did was to allow the ‘Cloud’ in your mind to form ‘Logical Raindrops’ until a critical mass was reached, at which point, you went back and fixed the problem.

In our day to day modern lives which are full of information coming at us from all sides, not all of which provides tangible value to us in improving who we are, it is very important to remember to decide what exactly you are feeding your ‘cloud’ with. Is it junk information from the media or other sources which feed information to us randomly and indiscriminately, or do we choose selected information that enriches our lives, our minds and makes more educated individuals out of us? This is a question that only you can answer.

In this post I have tried to begin describing my theory and how it may work for you. I use the theory myself to great effect for language learning, yet I am absolutely convinced that it can be used for virtually any type of learning. I have seen it work and I am convinced that it can work for anybody who chooses to apply it!

The Link Between Modern and Ancient Languages - You know more languages than you think!

In this post, I would like to explore the hidden world of language and share my thoughts on how the mind processes language and the wider implications this may have on society and indeed the Human Race. So here are my thoughts:

Ever wondered how some people are able to pick up languages so very easily whilst some of us struggle to go beyond our mother tongue? Well believe it or not, the secret of how to learn a new language is hidden exactly within your mother tongue. How so?

Well, firstly, let us consider the fact that the most important part of language learning is knowing how to structure and construct sentences. Now, by logical inference, the basic rules of how to structure sentences come from the original rules of the derivative language. So for example, the rules of how to form a sentence in Modern English and the overall structure of Modern English comes from its derivative language or languages such as Latin (amongst others).

So when we say something in modern English, we are actually using a lot from the derivative structure of Latin. (I say a lot, because not all modern English is derived just from Latin).

Similarly, modern German belongs to the group of so-called Germanic languages that are descended from a common prehistoric ancestor referred to by linguists as “proto-Germanic”.  “Proto-Germanic” is itself a branch of the Indo-European family of languages that also includes the Celtic, Italic, Slavic, Albanian, Greek, Baltic, Armenian, Iranian, and Indic language groups which evolved from Old Indo-Aryan languages such as Sanskrit.

Knowing this, I recently carried out a brief analysis of how to say the same sentence in four different languages: Two of these languages have Latin origins (English and French) and two have old origins in Sanskrit (German and Hindi).

The four sentences shown here are exactly translated back into English in the order in which the words appear. The similarities in the structure of the sentences between English and French (Latin derivative) and Hindi and German (Indo Aryan derivative) are shown in parentheses (or brackets).

The Sentence in English is: "all of us are going home".

In French this is: Chacun d'entre nous (rentrent chez eux) – all of us are (going home)

In Hindi: Hum sub (ghar ja rehain) hain – We all (home going) are

In German: Wir sind alle nach (Hause gehen) – We are all (home going)

Here is another example using a comparison between English and French:

Consider the sentence, “I would like to drink some water”

In French this is “Je tiens à boire de l'eau". Translated word-for-word back to English, this literally says “I would like to drink some water”. Again you can see the structure of the sentence is exactly the same.

In both these cases, the structural similarities arise because the origins of the languages are matched.

Looking at how to say numbers also shows a remarkable result:

For example, the number Thirty five in French, is written as: Trente Cinq (Thirty followed by Five) which is the same structure as English;

In Hindi, we say Pen Tees (Five followed by Thirty) and in German we say Funf und Dreissig (Five and Thirty), which is the same Structure as Hindi.

Note the similarities in structure between the Latin Based languages (English and French) and the Sanskrit Based Languages (German and Hindi)

So, what does this mean for us? Well, the amazing thing is that if your mother tongue is Hindi, for example, you already have the structure of German (and many other languages with the same origins as Hindi), already pre-programmed in your subconscious mind. All you have to do is use the same structural architecture that you already know since childhood and apply it to any language you wish to learn that has the same origins. Conversely, if your mother tongue is German, you’ll be amazed at how easily you will be able to pick up Hindi or any of the other Sanskrit derived languages.

Similarly, If your mother tongue is English, you will already have the structure of many Latin based languages already in your mind and you’ll be able to speak, write and read the Latin based languages very easily. Essentially, this means that your Subconscious mind, knows many more languages than you think, linking different languages through the pre-programmed logical language structures of your brain.

Now, I’m not saying this is 100% accurate. There are, after all, many facets to learning and there are many more variables involved which influence how we learn or study new things. Nevertheless, the basic principles of neuro-linguistic programming definitely apply here and the logical inference is for sure, the prevalent important factor for us to appreciate and acknowledge here.

Now, how does this tie in with my theory of Cloud Logic? (See the linked video). In my theory, I say that whatever it is that you are trying to learn, don’t worry if you have absolutely no idea what it means. All you have to do is feed your mind with the desired information from all sources and just trust your subconscious mind to figure out the connections; the details; the meaning; the logic and the structure. In this way, using the pre-programmed logical structures of the subconscious mind, you can learn absolutely ANYTHING you want, without effort and much faster than conventional methods.

Returning back to the subject of languages, of course, many of us today are multi-lingual. For Example, Millions of people speak both Hindi and English very well and for some, both can be considered to be mother tongues.

As the world becomes more of a Global village, many of us will find it easier to learn an even wider range of languages, because as we learn more derivative (original) language structures through learning the modern language equivalents, our minds will increasingly find it easier to process such language structures in a progressive and exponential manner.

This is also why, the ability to speak multiple languages is considered to be a very powerful tool for lateral thinking. People who can, generally find themselves to be highly capable in other areas as well.  

When setting out to learn a new language try to seek the true origin of that language. If the origin of the language you wish to learn has the same originating language as your mother tongue, then it is very likely that you will already have the structure and formation of that language already pre-programmed in your mind from childhood. This means that, Apart from the structure, the only thing left will be the vocabulary. So, if the origins of your destination language match the origins of your mother tongue or derivative language, then you're onto a winner ;-)

Now just one more important consideration: What does all this mean for us as a race and a society? Well, what we see here, are the beginnings of mankind attaining a SuperSubConscious state of being, much like the telepathic “aliens” envisaged by so many science fiction writers, the underlying structure of which lies not only in language but also in everything that we do today that unites our combined and assimilated Super SubConscious minds.

I personally envisage the human race ultimately existing as a race of transient minds existing in a completely free state of being, connected only by pure thought and complete unrestrained understanding of all that is nature and the universe and indeed, of each other, but that's just me gettting heavy again.

Also, as a society, this means that our combined SuperSubConscious state of mind is progressively forming it’s initial structure to become something far, far bigger that what we are today, notwithstanding of course, that we survive our petty local conflicts, our natural greed and all the things that restrict us from moving from being just Human Beings to becoming Super Beings.  

So for now,
