Hello ,
I have been thinking for a while about the concepts of body-consciousness-spirit . I am not sure ıf am I right or wrong but ,It will be helpful for betterment to share
When we are talking about instinctive drive we are basically talking about neurons in our brain and the interactions between them in the evolutionary scale . The pathways between billions of neurons makes us who we are for limited period of time .
Our body means nothing when our brain does not exists. It simply carries the brain and sustains the brain for its functions. Every part of our body has its representative in our neuronal network. Each part has its neuronal match located in different areas of the brain. Hundreds bits of inmormation enters the neuronal network every second ,the specialized parts of the network processes the information mostly in the subconscious level , and gives a response to them . It is like an advanced machine or a computer that Works for life time with every beat of our heart.
Homo- sapiens has the most advanced computer compared to other species as far as we know. What makes Homo sapiens different from others is its pre-frontal and frontal brain.Its the crucial part in personality traits. It is the part that makes a person a good one or a bad one .Learning , making decisions , analysing , making plans, choosing the suitable option take place in this region.When this area is damaged by traumatic injuries or surgeries the person who is kind ,generous , friendly can become mean , agressive and hostile.It is known that individuals with sociopathic personality disorder , lack the functionality of this part. Their neurons simply do not fire when they see someone who is struggling in pain and screams for help. They do not have the ability to show empathy ,that is why they can easily become a serial killer.
Addiction is a kind of neuronal disorder , which triggers the dopamine release as a reward. Substences couses addiction play their role through some sort of neuronic pathways. If we do not have thoose pathways , we do not response to addictive impulses ,they become meaningless. So the instinctive drive goes away . That is why meditation helps . It is the way leading to change the neuronal pathways .
It can be helpful to look at the subject from the view of neuroscience . When we say separete spirit from the flesh or spirit attached to the flesh we can paraphrase it like spirit attached to the brain .Because flesh is not muscles but is simply neurons.
There is another phenomenon which is poorly understood called consciousness. It is still a great mystery that how a 1.5 kg weighting jelly like organic structure called brain creates somthing totally subjective, which means depending on the perception of self. It produces the key which is called awareness and self - awareness . It can not be measured as far as we know.
I find it important for those who has not gained the esoteric knowledge yet ( like me ) to understand the dynamics of body- counsciousness- spirit. In this test enviroment if our spirit is attached to our brain it must have something to do with our consciousness. It makes me think that maybe our consciousness is a function of our spirit which makes us interacting in the visible world. Or maybe our spirit is our consciousness . It arised the question in my mind
When I saw the expression Great Consciousness for the Rabb.
Thanks for your feedback
Be well
