do u believe in theory of karma? (Page 10)

Only the brain. Neurons, dendrites, synapses, axons, glia, microtubules, electrochemical impulses, the whole works.

Not bad :)
Since a couple of weeks now, I am trying to find information on two things: 1. where is all the data that we take in, stored? 2. how is it stored, in what language?

Answer to question 1 is that it is distributed inside the brain and the strength of synaptic connections tell how important that data is to us. Where exactly is it stored is still unclear to me. Some are saying it is the microtubules. I got to research more.

Answer to question 2 is what I am most interested in. How is the data stored in our brains? For instance on hard drives, data is recorded by magnetizing ferromagnetic material to represent a 1 or 0. What about the brain?

 Interestingly there are supposed to be more than five million magnetite crystals per gram in the human brain. The meninges, (the membrane that envelops the brain), has twenty times that number!
Several theories abound regarding memory storage. Its moved on from local to non local.As per a theory quantum processing is supposed to take place in the microtubules. Patterns of quantum waves in the microtubules has been suggested as a sort of coding for memories. These could give rise  to electrical impulses across the synapses that are responsible for the communication  through chemical neurotransmitters.

 

Knowing how the data is recorded in our brains would answer key questions about consciousness and intelligence. It would also have a LOT of practical applications. On demand load of data/information, external storage of data from our brains (backup), purging bad memories, to name a few :)
OMG !  I somehow dont like the idea of anything having that level of access but  wont the examinees be pleased !  In fact electrical as well as magnetic stimulation thinking caps have already been invented! They are said to improve memory and aid faster learning.

 That is why, a stoic - or a person who does Karma without any fear or desire - is completely free from the effects of Karma as his Karma was done without any good or bad intention.

Human morality is subjective. It is dependent on human experience, culture, society and the brain of the individual. That makes every moral decision or judgment - relative and not absolute right?

It sure does appear to be so.

 

But the question still bugs me - if the universe and nature is neutral - why do I have morality? Why am I not constant like gravity or consistent like mathematics? How did the neutral forces of nature produces something that is subjective, inconsistent and driven by a complex mixture of emotions and reason?
I thinks its due to our social conditioning. We pick up cues regarding morality from our social environment. As culture and customs differ so also our beliefs and morality. Little wonder there is no consistency. If there had been consistency would seeking enlightenment or moksha be considered moral when suicide is not ?

 

As much as I am curious how deep the rabbit hole is, eventually I think to myself - I live on the surface not the rabbit hole. I taste food, I breathe the air, I enjoy the weather, my senses make me experience life and that is reality. It does not matter if the experience is real or programmed or an illusion. If the experience appears real, and I cry or laugh, it is real enough to live,

Ultimately, our search for truth, nirvana, liberation, God whatever is driven out of this life we live and experience. So what if the truth or liberation that we seek points that this life is a lie or an illusion or meaningless. How reliable is this truth or liberation if it is derived from  within a life that is allegedly an illusion or a lie?

If we go by the Matrix, there is another Matrix outside the Matrix and another Matrix outside that Matrix. It is just circles. The truth we all know is hundred years from now we both will be dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Where the ashes and dust come from and go? Who knows? All we know is dead. Between now and dead we can keep going from one matrix to another, and still be dead. Or we can sit down grab a piece of cake and enjoy the sweet delicious taste. Even if the cake is a lie, it is still sweet and delicious. And we can go on enjoying  the sweet, salty,delicious, tasty. fun, sad, happy, cold, hot, joyous, wrenching, painful, blissful, ecstatic, heartbreaking and all the experiences we can between now and dead.

Yeah , why not ? We may as well enjoy ourselves while we are here

Is liberation really all what it is made out to be? Sounds like annihilation doesnt it ?

I changed my signature but for you to enjoy

Hey you didnt have to change that !
