Subjective Experience

-



Since the ancient times, humans were curious about subjective experience. The human receive external information through 5 main doors which are eyes, ears, nose, tongue and bodily sensations. Eyes are sensitive for light rays and it shows a three dimensional color image of the world. Ears are sensitive for sound waves. Similarly nose and tongue are sensitive for smell and taste. However those are the five types of external information's that can be collected by humans. The reality is built by those 5 types of information's.

Science behind Sensory information's

We see colors. The color is created in our brain by using the light rays which are emitted from the external objects after light fallen on it. The colors we experience subjectively are not at outside truly. As a human being we need to see the world. That visible image is built at brain and then we see. Here the most fantastic fact is “We see what we created in our brain”. The same methodology can be applied to the other sensory organs too. 

However the world that I and you experience is built by our brain and then we get a subjective experience.

Why is this subjective experience?

Here we came to the world to fulfill any kind of target. The mysterious reason behind our arising as a human being in this world is still unknown to science. We have some basic ideas according to religious perspective and that subject is still a question to science. As a reason humans’ birth is happened and from that moment they start to get the subjective experience. That subjective experience makes the world which is comparative to each and every human and they create their own purposes and rules to live.

The world without a subjective experience

Whether a world exists without the subjective experience is a mind-boggling question. My personal opinion is that it doesn’t make much difference whether the answer is “Yes” or “No”. Even if the answer is yes, it can never be inputted into a three dimensional human, because humans still exist only in the five senses. Therefore the search for an answer for to that question is likely to be futile. 

Bernardo Kastrup (Dutch philosopher and the computer scientist) Analytic Idealism is a philosophical framework that suggests “Consciousness or mental activity is the fundamental substance of reality, rather than physical matter.” The three main components of his thesis,

  1. Consciousness is primary - Mind or consciousness is the base reality.
  2. Reality is mental - The world we experience is a manifestation of consciousness.
  3. Individual minds are fragments - Our individual experiences are like "alters" or fragments  of larger, universal consciousness.

In simple terms, Kastrup's Analytic Idealism posits that consciousness is the fundamental nature of reality, and the physical world arises from it. This perspective challenges traditional physics, which views matter as the fundamental substance of reality. Instead, Kastrup's idealism offers a more subjective, consciousness-centered understanding of existence.

Consciousness

Stop! Take a moment and ask yourself, Are you Conscious? How do you know that you are Conscious? What is your idea about the highest level of Consciousness one can achieve for yourself? What is your definition of Consciousness? Since my early childhood, I have questioned myself how individuals' conscious manipulation exists and how our free will arises from it. Still, those are unresolved puzzles to humans. Here I expect to discuss the basic Scientific background and philosophical background behind "Consciousness." Science of Consciousness Scientifically, consciousness is defined as the state of being aware of oneself and one's surroundings, encompassing thoughts, sensations, and experiences, and is a neurobiological property of the brain. Vital areas for Consciousness If damage occurs to specific parts of the thalamus, or to a particular region of the brain stem, the result can be permanent unconsciousness. In addition to these parts, the cerebral cortex also contrib...

This was included in the stream of “ Paranormal Incidents .” What is   a Paranormal Incident ? The word consists of two parts: Para and Normal. The definition implies that  the scientific explanation of the world around us is normal and anything that is above, beyond, or contrary to that is “Para” . Scientific Overview Combustion Combustion refers to the process where a substance burns in the presence of Oxygen, giving off heat and light in the process. In chemistry, a fuel is a substance that, when burned (or combusted), releases a usable amount of energy, typically in the form of heat. This process involves a chemical reaction with an oxidizer, most commonly oxygen, where the fuel's stored chemical energy is converted into thermal energy.   In combustion, flame color is directly related to the temperature and the chemical composition of the fuel, as well as the presence of soot or other particles.  Blue flames indicate the hottest , most comple...

Pineal Gland

There are many unsolved areas in the mechanism of this anatomical area of ​​the brain. Some of these theses are still at the theoretical level, and due to the lack of scientific studies, we cannot gain full knowledge of the topic. However, here we try to get a basic idea by applying a foundation to hidden knowledge.   Your pineal gland, also called the pineal body or epiphysis cerebri , is a tiny gland in your brain that’s located beneath the back part of the corpus callosum. It’s a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland’s main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin. In addition, it secretes Serotonin , N -Dymethyltriptamine (DMT).   Melatonin action Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It  helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep . Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin product...
