Research for CONCLUSIONS—Pragmatic Reality, (sequel to DELUSIONS—Pragmatic Realism)

PART ONE, The PAST (cont.)

 

Back to AI. The 100 billion neurons communicate with each other, producing complex answers to simple questions. However, AI, being a product of the phenomenal reality, is just as elusive, and as illusory as the rest of our reality. The prime purpose of our brain is to keep us (temporarily) alive and well.

And here comes a great surprise.

Very few people know how to use their biological computer consciously to produce phenomenal results. Very few of us realize that the assembly of neurons is capable of producing an illusion of one of the countless galaxies, let alone our own, magnificent, no matter how transient, physical bodies.

The mind, not the brain, generates ideas. The brain (the computer) converts them into thoughts. Thoughts, when generated through the alpha brainwaves create significant illusions in our phenomenal reality. The reality that we recognize as real, although Einstein insists that it is “merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.”

The rest is history, except for a pertinent detail.

We forgot to discuss how it all began.

Well, it didn’t.

Creativity is a process that is inherent in our awareness of the reality in which we find our becoming. But as every child must have parents, so our awareness must have originated from a non-phenomenal source. The source which religionists call God and scientists call “nothing which existed before the Big Bang”. I prefer the first option, though not one created in the image of man.

Let us get back to Albert Einstein. He said that ALL IS ENERGY. Hence that which the sacerdotal fraternity refer to as God, must, perforce, also be Energy. All means ALL. No exclusions. ALL must include all the potential that was, is, will be or could be, though not in its phenomenal forms. Thus we must expand our concept of ENERGY to include EVERYTHING. The energy that was, is, will be, or could be.

Eternal, hence Inexhaustible Energy?

There are only a few adjectives that do not diminish or limit the definition of God that even Baruch Spinoza would accept:

Omnipresent, Eternal, Inexhaustible Energy, Infinite Potential...

And to this the impressive quarter we must add the most magnificent definition energy of all:

CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS

This, and this alone does not diminish or restrict the religious concept of God.

This definition, however,  opens the gates to include thoughts and emotions in the concept of energies. They are the two elements necessary to fulfill the creative process. Perhaps, in time, we shall discover others, such as love, hate, faith... they all create phenomenal consequences, hence they can be classified as energies.
