Thinking about Thought - Theories of Brain Mind Consciusness - Part 6. Consciousness, Self, Free Will I keep updating these slides at http://www.scaruffi.com/ucb.html
This document discusses consciousness, free will, and technological singularity from a philosophical perspective. It begins with an overview of recent developments in neuroscience that have focused on issues relevant to human self-image like consciousness, self-consciousness, and free will. It then discusses some of the philosophical questions and conceptual issues around these topics, as well as potential ethical implications. The document is divided into three parts that explore understanding consciousness, ancient ideas about the soul and mind, and issues regarding free will and determinism. It argues that consciousness can be understood from both first and third-person perspectives by connecting neural processes to subjective experiences. Regarding free will, it proposes that actions can be self-determined if they are the result of an

What is Mind Control?
Mind Control. When you hear those words a myriad of images may come to mind. You might envision a devious man using the power of his mind and will to dominate the actions of some
unsuspecting and innocent women. You may think of some clandestine cabal of world leaders
secretively planning the next steps toward a unified world economy. Or perhaps you are the cult leader (one of my favorite images) with a gathering of loyal followers ready to hear every word.
It is not likely you have in mind a loving parent reading to his children or an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting helping its members live a decent life of sobriety. It is also unlikely that, as you stand in your favorite church of worship, you will recognize the grasp that Mind Control has on you. Or as you sit with your psychiatrist you are unlikely to be aware of the subtle acts of Mind Control that are being used on you. But it is there. And for the sake of this book, any attempt to bring about a change in your thoughts and feelings, and therefore your actions, is an
act of Mind Control. That may sound shocking because most people see Mind Control as a bad thing done by bad people. So let me make it clear; the intention and motives of the controller are not relevant to this discussion. The controller may be motivated by the most altruistic
ideals or may only want your money. This book will attempt to uncover the methods of how those thoughts and feelings are instilled to bring about the controller's outcome.
To make a distinction Mind Control differs from the vulgar actions and tactics of coercion. Coercion is when all a controller wants is to have someone make a specific action and has no concern for their motivation. Threats, guilt and humiliation will usually do the job. But coercion lacks any form of grace or elegance. Coercion cares nothing about the thoughts and feelings of the people being coerced. This is the major difference between coercion and Mind Control.
The document is a poem titled "Walking Meditation" written by Hitoshi Tsuchiyama. It consists of 6 sections where the speaker describes different actions and states of being - such as walking, touching, blooming, sitting - while in a meditative state without thinking. Each section emphasizes experiencing the present moment fully without internal mental chatter. The overall message is finding peace and freedom through mindfulness during walking meditation.
The document discusses implicate and explicate order according to Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's theory of body awareness. Implicate order refers to body (matter) enfolding into awareness (mind), while explicate order refers to awareness (mind) unfolding into body (matter). Both orders involve the phenomenal world enfolding or unfolding into the noumenal world through thinking and insight.
The document presents five meditation techniques: flower, mountain, still water, space, and sunshine. The first four are based on the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh and involve breathing in while visualizing being that object, then breathing out while repeating qualities of that object, such as "fresh, fresh, fresh" for flower and "solid, solid, solid" for mountain. The last meditation, sunshine, was created by the author and involves breathing in while visualizing being the sunshine, then breathing out while repeating "love, love, unconditional love" and visualizing shining love to all unconditionally.
All sufferings are caused by separations, discriminations, or duality. That's because the separation between oneself and others cause all afflictions such as fear, anger and despair. And the root cause of such separations and discriminations is thoughts and notions created by human brain. In this book, I will share the "concrete practice methods to stop thinking" and the "concrete practice methods for the extinction of all notions" and explain their details. These methods have been verified through my own experience and many of them are based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, namely the teachings of Buddha. It is my great pleasure if you will awaken true self, touch the wonders of life in the present moment and be filled with peace, joy and happiness through the practice.
The document discusses different levels of self-awareness - ego, temporary true self, and full time true self. Ego is the separate self that is unaware of the interdependence of happiness and suffering. Temporary true self can recognize both positive and negative phenomena but still experiences duality between birth and death. Full time true self has reached enlightenment through realizing the interdependence of all things and experiencing non-duality, resulting in ultimate peace and extinction of all notions. The evolution of humanity involves progressing from ego to temporary true self and ultimately to full time true self.
The document is Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's translation and commentary on the Heart Sutra. It explains that the Heart Sutra aims to guide readers to the non-duality of enlightenment by transcending the duality presented in the Four Noble Truths. It also discusses how interdependent co-arising can help one overcome duality and attain non-duality or emptiness.
