SCIENCE AND RELIGION-Chapter 1

"Maturity and the art of wisdom comes when you move from the state of existence to the state of emptiness"

Battle continues...So after months of struggle to locate the position for me to stand, I chose the path of good. The life that followed then seemed more rugged than what I expected. Now the state I am in is a more complicated state. Its the reality versus the illusion. Science says that all  things that originated upon earth can be considered to be made up of matter. With my recent work in quantum physics ,I learnt that when a matter is created ,an equally powerful co-existing anti matter is also created but this anti matter is invisible(research still continues to explore the nature of this anti matter).Now to the human existence...

Talent comes not from within but by practice:

                        The human brain is considered to be made up of approximately 100 billion neurons which controls all kinds of emotions and also determines the trigger which elicit the feelings such as love, lust, anger, hatred etc. The appropriate neurons when rightly triggered can be made a bit stronger or weaker. This is the reason why on seeing a cute girl most of the guys feel a bit attracted. Not because their moral characters are bad but their apparent neuron interactions are high. The medicos call this as neuro- plasticity. Science says, virtually any sort of talent can be created through training. Rationality and emotional resilience work the same way. Whatever you are doing at any time ,you are physically modifying your brain to become better at it.

 

Neuro God

Specific neurons and neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine trigger a defensive state when we feel that our thoughts have to be protected from the influence of others. The primitive part of the cerebro interferes with the rational thinking and then the limbic system can knock out most of our working memory. This is the reason for the narrow mindedness of most of the people. And the reverse happens at the point of relaxation or when being appreciated, ”the dopamine transmission”, activating the reward neurons thereby reducing the state of threat.

 

Serotonin and Life:

Self esteem and self belief are closely linked to the neuro transmitter Serotonin.So when I feel stressed or sod or sometimes  with eluded thought of suicide,it is not because that I had a broken up love,not because I live alone ,not because my childhood days were of extreme torture but because of my body failing to synthesize Serotonin.

Normative Social Influence:

Environment forges the ethical and moral behavior of all humans.A rape or a molestation cannot be considered a crime when this environmental factor ceases.All moral existence is considered to be validated by the environment we live in.You and I are forced or in the worst case made used to live in the very existence of fear of the society.One may pose a self defiant question to me asking”Why do you then fear the society having known all these?”..Well,the answer is simple.It is in the empathetic neurons that makes me self reflect.This is the reason why certain universal tradition like wearing clothes or bathing or even the fear of early physical relation is considered with a discern look.You feel the way I feel and so this becomes a Universal law.

The mirror neuron does not know the difference between it and others.This is the reason why we are so dependent on social validation and why we want to fit in.A constant duality of seeing ourselves and others.

Why am I called a robot??

   With years of practice and triggering out every feeling that others can pour upon me under all kinds of dramatic situation ,I now am self-aware that these emotions can be misplaced because the thoughts that create them can be controlled.My memories now are liable when retrieved and restored because of this neuro-chemical consequence and protein synthesis.Self observing is what I do.The neo-cortical region was the target area and now I am learning to control it.When one become self aware of the concept called “Backward rationalisation”,he/she then will start looking for the answer to the unsolved emotions.

Cognitive Dissonance is the frustration caused by simultaneously holding two contradictory ideas.This happens when the transfer of information between the neurons become optimal when their activity is synchronized.

What is then called “Will power”??

Will is merely the drive to reduce dissonance between each of our active neural circuits.So it is not actually the dilemma under a situation  like”whether to talk to her or not”.It is actually that the corresponding neurons transmit the needed information with perfect synchronization.

Now ,the paradox of wanting purpose. While thinking that human existence is meaningless ,cognitive dissonance occurs.So the reaction now is “Spiritual vs Science”.The goddamn unsolved question “What am I ??”

Just as pixels on a screen can express themselves as a recognizable image when in unity,the convergence of neural interaction expresses itself as “Consciousness”.At every moment,we are infact a different image.A different image when mirroring,when  hungry or even when reading this.Every second we become different person.Nothing is external.

This is not a hypothetical property.Our selfish genes have come to promote reciprocal social behaviours in super organismal structures effectively discarding notion.”The survival of the Fittest”what we call the “Selfish tendency” is only a narrow interpretation of what self-serving behaviour entrails.

We are a global network of neuro chemical reactions.And the self amplifying cycle of acceptance and acknowledgement,sustained by the daily choices in our interactions,as the chain reaction that will ultimately define our collective ability to overcome imagined differences and look at life in the grand scheme of things…Search continues

My favourite quote:

“It is said that wisdom comes with age,but with openness and skepticism,the key principles of scientific method,we don’t need decades of trial and error to sort out,which of our convictions may be improbable.The question is not whether our beliefs are right or wrong,but whether or not being emotionally ,attached to them is more or less likely going to benefit us.The moment we are self aware enough to realize this,we can truly work together to figure out odds.”..
