Hi Ilya,
I like it.
You describe the ego as a displacement of the locus of assemling of sq
patterns. In your description it is an intellectual constuct of what is having the
biological pain. But what is experiencing the biological pain are biological
patterns.
Have i got this right?
We would have to introduce a social aspect to this description. The social
aspect is neglected in SOM. For example, some social patterns may be learned
which have the result of, 'not allowing a male to show pain in public.' So,
although biological patterns may experience pain, social patterns supress
expression of pain. The locus of assembling is pushing the biological value of
pain into the background (pain can be a good warning sign that there is an
urgent biological problem a doctor should be taking care of) and pushing the
social value of tolerating pain to the dominating forefront (a man who tolerates
pain may be considered to be more of a social celebrity - i am thinking of
Dennis Leary's All American father in, 'No cure for cancer' who accidently
slices off his thumb and then sticks it back on with insulation tape - the young
leary thus learned he was NEVER to show pain.
Your ideas are very stimulating.
All the best,
Mark
Hi Mark,
good to find we agree on all points of my last letter. We can go
ahead now, I suppose.
I would speculate further that human's subjective reality at any
given moment is determined by the location of his LOCUS OF ASSEMBLING.
The term "locus of assembling" means dominating at this very moment
static pattern in it's relation to all other patterns (that are pushed
into the background).
I would speculate further that human's subjectively experienced "self"
is a by-product of the DISPLACEMENT of locus of assembling. For
example, when we want to convince ourselves in the reality of "I" that
feels something (e.g. physical pain), and try to catch this "I", it
means intellectual patterns taking over biological patterns, then
biological patterns taking over intellectual patterns, then again
intellectual patterns taking over biological patterns and again and
again and again. The process of this circling changes (going on
extremely fast) in the hierarchy of dominance of static patterns
produces the illusion of ego.
I would speculate further that coherent state means the absence of
domination of any pattern over any other. And so means the absence
of the hierarchy of dominance of static patterns itself. In coherent
state there are no locus of assembling, and so no displacement of it.
As a result, the illusion of ego doesn't occur.
Well, enough speculations for one post :-)
I will be grateful for any comments.
Best regards,
Ilya
