Brain is still?

Brain is still? The more we learn, the brain, the more this question difficult to answer. To material scientists only matter is real, nothing else. For them, mental phenomena, or what we call spirit are all products of material phenomena. Logical positivism asserts the primacy of observation in assessing the truth of the statement of facts. Arguments not on observable data are meaningless. These philosophies, separation of the mind as a non-material entity is not possible. Gregory Bateson presents his theory of the unity of mind and brain elegant, "The spirit is no longer separated from the body as the speed is independent of the matter. Or, as acceleration is independent of speed." This is in contrast to Descartes' concept or Cartesian dualism, where the observer (you) is separated from the observed (the rest of the universe).

The modern description of the mind is derived from the brilliant philosophy of Max Planck. Proposed on 14 December 1900, his theory of quantum physics states that energy is emitted in bundles or quanta. He also notes that the dualism of observer and observed, is an illusion. I and the universe are one. Literally. To a Westerner this concept may seem strange to a Sufi, Taoist or Buddhist, it is but natural.

Fred Alan Wolf in his book, in which the Quantum Leap, suggests that "mind" is a property of all matter or energy, to peptides, atoms, electrons and quarks. The molecule is "spirit" is the random choice. For example, if the choice "to" fit into the molecular receptor and inhibit a function of choice is "down", opposite will happen. Neurons receive signals from each millisecond Dogs that are either on or off state of the neuron, or whether or not to fire, fire withuot question! There are trillions of decisions that every millisecond within the 3-pound mass of cells we call the brain. And all these decisions of molecular and atomic centers to combine what we call our spirit and sense of self-consciousness or awareness or I. And that is the theory of reality, relatively speaking. Quantum theory describes the likelihood of something happening, happening suddenly and thus explains the dependence of mind on the brain as something else. Therefore, modern science rejects the concept of dualism of Descartes. But unlike before Descartes monistic paradigms, it proposes the theory of all-in-one concept with an eternal elements, the dilemma of the desecration of the soul, therefore, not arise, because it is an epiphenomenon of the brain.

The scientific paradigm of the human brain is that it is an electrochemically powered organ. The mind or I either resides in or around the brain, and it is probably a work of the brain, the electrochemical activity, such as the current static objects.

The energy required for the mind to function during waking hours by the brain mechanisms. The spirit disappears when the brain mechanisms no longer work due to injury or because of intereference epileptic drugs or drugs or even during sleep. Apparently some specialized brain turn off the unit that stimulates the mind, every time it falls asleep. He switches off the power upon awakening, a means to alleviate the fatigue of the brain. In both alternatives, the mind has no memory of its own. The brain, like any computer, saves what he learns during his lifetime. The recorded data will be available immediately, however, while awake, and perhaps in some way distorted during sleep - what we call dreams.

The epiphenomenon or semi-monistic paradigm of mind and brain by the current scientific theories, leading to speculation that I am actually in the brain, since it is an organization of the brain. Dr. Wilder Penfield, the famous neurosurgeon in the 1930s tried to "ghost" in the brain. Hundreds of operations performed by Dr. Penfield brain showed that itself has no sense of perception and feeling no pain. Operations, in conscious subjects demonstrated that there was no "spirit" in the brain, but there were areas in the brain, on the interaction with spirit. Dr. Penfield discovered these centers in 1943. These brain centers but not as a ghost Penfield, which suggest that mind and brain are two different forms of energy.

Based on observations Penfiled the question of what happens to mind when the brain goes to sleep? Two hyopotheses are now possible, if the spirit disappears. Firstly, the spirit is no longer available as it is only a function of the brain. It is every time again the highest brain-mechanism goes into normal operation. In the second case, the dualistic approach to mind as a fundamental element in itself, a medium, an essence, a Soma, the continued existence. Therefore, when the spirit disappears, it is silent, it is no longer a connection to the brain, but it gives and takes when the highest brain-mechanism being used.

The problem with the procurement of questions about the disappearance of mind is difficult, because the answer is, we assume, would be in a language understandable to us. Our concept of energy is based on the principles of physics, which also changed in the near future. The understanding of matter and the understanding of the truth may not be free. The paradigms of reality, human brain and positivism paradigms not only realities as best we speak. Perhaps we see around us what is just a mirror image of our own vision, is because we try to visualize ourselves from the outside. Perhaps what around us do not exist.

More confusing than the idea of whether we exist or not, the reality is that something, tangible or otherwise, is our captain, regardless of the independence of our actions and our thoughts. "All people, regardless of their intelligence or other attributes are forced to serve similar functions, the survival and promoting the maintenance of the race. As if we have been programmed as a slave. All types of performing its tasks by their brain or mind. Where our mind is the brain or the blue-print of our actions?

If spirit has different dimensions than what we know, then take into account need to know the answer, as it arose. Why not do it with our brain. One possibility is that we evolve, to understand it and the second, more fear is that if we said that we may refuse to obey. One day, sometime in the future, even a few million years from now, we know all the answers. On this day, to paraphrase Penfield, smile all the prophets.

women and our forest

Forest bald causes of natural disasters has now become one of the serious threat to human safety and health (human security). Parties who most feel the impact of natural disasters are vulnerable populations, such as women and children. A study conducted by the London School of Economics and Political Science of the 141 countries affected by disasters in the period 1981-2002 also found a strong link between natural disasters and socio-economic status of women. Natural disaster turned out to result in a decrease in female life expectancy and increasing gender gap in society. This suggests that women turned out to be the biggest victims of various natural disasters. Consequently, there is increased poverty among women and the opening of the gap of gender inequality because women have to bear the double burden of responsibility is heavier than males. The problem, various empirical facts on the impact of natural disasters on women is not accompanied by awareness of the importance of involvi...

Gadamerian Hermeneutics in Review

This is the "intention" of Gadamer "not falling into the rut romantic" (338) operating on the basis of ontology Heidegger, a shift of the hermeneutical problem of prejudice and tradition . We know how crucial was the contribution of Heidegger renewal of contemporary hermeneutics, Gadamer that did not fail to stress the rest: "The record of Heidegger temporality of human Dasein has shown convincingly, in my opinion that understanding is not a mode of behavior in other matters, but the mode of being of Dasein itself. In that sense, the concept of hermeneutics is being implemented here. It means the basic motion of life, which is in its finitude and its historicity, and thus embraces the whole experience monde3. Before s'appartenir and can establish with the world and himself a subject to subject, man is to be, in the sense that it always-déjàl'être: not in a way as a result of reflexive awareness, but as it is a Da-sein, then a being irretrievably discard...

GLOBALISASI DALAM RANAH WACANA

oleh Syamsul Maarif Amenangi jaman edan ewuh aya ing pambudi Melu edan nora tahan yen tan melu anglakoni boya kaduman melik Kaliren wekasanipun Dilalah karsa Allah Begja-begjane kang lali luwih begja kang eling lawan waspada” (Ajaran Ranggawarsito: pupuh 7, Sent Kalatidha) Globalisasi itu apa sebenarnya? adalah sebuah istilah yang memiliki hubungan dengan peningkatan keterkaitan dan ketergantungan antarbangsa dan antarmanusia di seantero dunia melalui perdagangan (trading), tanam modal (investation), perjalanan (traveling), budaya popular (pop-culture), dan bentuk-bentuk interaksi yang lain sehingga batas-batas suatu negara menjadi bias (unlimited). "globalisasi" diambil dari kata global, yang maknanya ialah universal. Achmad Suparman menyatakan Globalisasi adalah suatu proses menjadikan sesuatu (benda atau perilaku) sebagai ciri dari setiap individu di dunia ini tanpa dibatasi oleh wilayah. Globalisasi belum memiliki definisi yang mapan, kecuali sekedar definis...
