The Mind’s Efficiency Cap

Posted on by

Efficiency = (Output ÷ Input) × 100%. Each person’s ability is established by their capacity. Their personal output cannot exceed their personal capacity. The way to overcome this is to acquire the skills and abilities of those whose outputs are required by a task or objective. If the potential of each mind is unlimited then why isn’t everyone unlimited in their expression? The fuel of ability is emotion. It doesn’t matter if the emotional fuel is fear or desire, fuel is fuel. A lazy and apathetic individual has not learnt or refuses to manipulate his amygdala in order to create the emotional fuel required for success.

As demonstrated by movies, comedy, the news and sports, how we perceive stimuli determines how we feel and how we feel is the fuel that is necessary for all endeavours. Resource deprivation creates poverty, hunger and homelessness. When artificially created by politicians, fear, hunger and poverty are tools. Emotions are the resources used by governments to remotely manipulate the amygdala of the populous. This is done by ‘indirectly’ programming the perception of whole societies.

Many people who leave their homes to go to work, and drop their children at school or childcare, would not go if they had enough money to live without working. Most people would also state that if given the choice they would do something else. Why don’t they? They don’t because they have been educated to look (perceive) outside of their self for their understanding. When we do look outside of ourself, we find schools, books, colleges, politics and religion. These forms of knowledge are emotionless.

We do everything for the feeling. To learn to code means we must understand the language and apply it to create functions. There is little or no emotion in learning to code. This means that for many, there is insufficient motivational emotional fuel. In terms of capturing the mind’s attention causing it to focus, there must be emotional fuel. This fact is established by those who play computer games, bet on horse racing or watch a movie. The pay off is the feelings we get from the stimulus our awareness is observing. Every emotional response ‘without exception’ is a perceptually induced neurochemical response.

Perception reveals understanding. One individual’s understanding of perceived stimulus may be different to another person’s understanding of the same stimulus. One person may find a button on a jacket boring. Another person finds the same button on the same jacket terrifying. The latter would be referred to as a phobia. What these contrasting responses reveal is the ‘technology’ that controls the mind. That technology is perception. This is a technology that has been exploited by governments, rules, religions and grifters since the Garden of Eden.

A hunter gatherer was motivated by the rewards that are delayed for the period it takes to find the food. This desire for the food was really a desire for the neurochemicals of the kill and the taste of the food and the feeling of being full. What is more pleasant, being hungry or eating a meal? This natural phenomenon has been exploited by the rulers of the world for centuries. The same biological engine that is at work for the hunter gatherer is at work, when a man is stood in a bookmakers, waiting for his horse to come over the finish line first.

There is a difference between going out and hunting and placing money on the counter of a bookmaker. The difference is that one requires the individual to do most of the work and the other does not. The emotional rewards from hunting result from the determination and skill of the hunter and the emotional results of gambling are outside of the control of the gambler. There can be no motivation without fuel. Using everyday terms, the fuel for motivation is emotions. More accurately each and every one of the emotions is a neurochemical.

We have been educated to understand this with an almost exclusive reliance on the term dopamine. This is unhelpful. Dopamine is a label given to a feeling that is generated by perception. This perception will be fixed to one or more stimuli. The feeling of winning the race may be what motivates the athlete to run. Winning the race may create what has been generically defined to be a dopamine hit. However, the feeling, regardless of its label is the prize. We do everything for the feeling.

We make friends for the feelings we feel. We stop talking to friends because of the feelings we feel. We fall in love and get married because of the feelings we feel. We put money on a horse in anticipation of the feelings we will feel. Its not the money or the fame that we crave it’s the feelings that fame, winning, sex and companionship give us. But we also rob, rape, kill and tell lies for the feeling. The feelings an addict feels when he consumes the drugs, he bought with money he stole from an elderly lady he murdered are more important than his victim.

The feelings a rapist feels when raping an innocent child are more important to the rapist, than the child. The feelings we feel when we get the job. The feelings we feel when we get fired from our job. In life, we do everything for the feeling! The mind is operated by a technology and if we do not understand this, we will ruin relationships, commit crime, go to prison, become addicts and grow old, lonely, isolated and bitter. Most people alive today do not know that they have power and sovereignty over their own mind. The mind is an instrument that can do anything.

The mind can rob, kill and steal, or it can create technologies and build cities. The mind of the most successful among us and everyone in prison is equal in its potential. When compared, the lives of each one of us are clearly not equal in their expression. A young man starting work as a hod carrier on a building site may be motivated by his wages. The job involves loading out bricks and, in some cases, mixing and loading out the mortar that is used by the bricklayer. Motivation is higher when the work to wages ratio is highest.

As previously stated, efficiency = (Output ÷ Input) × 100%. For example, a hod carrier working for 40 hours, earning £700 per week. The financial efficiency would be the hourly rate. Efficiency = £700 ÷ 40 hours = £17.50 per hour. Now if we compare this to a dentist who works a 40 hour week and earns £1,600 per week. Financial efficiency = 1,600 ÷ 40 hours = £40 per hour. In this example the Dentist is financially more efficient. This establishes the fact that in financial terms a Dentist is more financially efficient than a hod carrier.

Money rarely motivates. What motivates someone to go out and work is what money can buy. The complexities of motivation must be understood if we are to live meaningful lives. A person can be highly motivated towards success. Success is different for each of us. But a strong motivational goal is essential in life. We can call it a mission, a goal or an objective, but it must be so attractive that it compels us to keep going and prevents us from stopping or giving up. It must be our raison d’être.

The term “raison d’être” is French for “reason for being” or “purpose of existence.” Our happiness must become our North Star. It cannot be a person. It cannot be romantic. This is because in life we must be born again, to restore the personal sovereignty over our mind that our parents and ancestors lost. Fear like anxiety, excitement and anger are the biological fuel we all have the power to generate. If you are reading this from a prison cell, you have misused your mind. In your defence you didn’t understand what the mind and the emotions (neurochemicals) are for.

Looking for another person to make us happy is a refusal to do the work. We deny our personal responsibility when we seek out and find someone who is prepared to make our happiness their “raison d’être”. Love is selfless. Anyone now sitting in a one room apartment and giving a sizeable percentage of their income to an ex-wife who shares their bed with another man, who both live in the house he is paying for, who can only see his children at weekends will understand what is written here.

Marriage is a promise made before God, to God. The marriage ends when they separate. The only thing that can separate a couple in a loving marriage is death. We cannot make our love conditional. If our love is conditional, it means we are abusing and exploiting someone else, in order to use their fuel, which in this example, is their fear, to manipulate and control them. The amygdala is a biological tool that must be mastered if we are to achieve our life’s goals. If we do not restore personal sovereignty over our own mind, we cannot master our own amygdala.

If we do not restore sovereignty over our own mind, we will continue to be victims of a mind that has been programmed by others. Anyone who programmes your mind is not doing it for your benefit. To be born again, means that we must make the transition from victims of our personal psychology to masters of our biology. Trauma, addiction, procrastination and apathy are sustained because all of the institutions are emotionally illiterate. Emotional literacy is a survival skill that can turn a pauper into a prince. Prisons are full of emotionally illiterate individuals.

The fuel for success is emotion. The barrier to success is emotion. Desire and fear are equally powerful but anomalous in their results. Desire is the inevitable result of perceiving something in a particular way. Fear is the inevitable result of perceiving something in a particular way. A change in perception can transform a life. Perception is how we see things. The Ego is what we must become and embody to be accepted by the world. It is given an ID and used by officials who check our passport.

Those who control us are on the look out for those who are awake. The identity is a mind virus. A puppy must repetitively be called by a noise before it answers to that noise and no other. It will then grow to be a dog that answers to its name and no other. This is exactly how we were domesticated. The method is a concept known as a ‘conditioned response’. After a while, the conditioned response creates a false perspective. You are not your given name. You are unique but you are not the identity that was assigned to you.

Only those who are domesticated can travel vicariously through the ego identity. Only those who are domesticated can live in a Muslim society. Only those who were domesticated could live in a Christian society. For these existential models of existence to work an individual must deny any forms of expression that is forbidden by the rules and laws of the existential model. So, we conform! What does this mean? It means that it is not you who is being educated, it’s the operating system that is the identity that is being programmed and reprogrammed.

It’s not you who applies for the job, it the dysfunctional psychological complex that now operates your egoic (mind of identity) mind. It’s not you who goes on holiday. It’s not you who gets married. So how is this life so convincing? The body! The mind is a subtle form of the body. The body is a denser form of the mind. Your mind is programmed to control your body. Your body tastes the food, drinks the alcohol and has sex. It is because you feel all of these experiences through the body’s senses that you say, I did this or I did that. No!

Just like the prisoner who is in jail, he was compelled by his emotions, oblivious to how he and others had programmed his mind. He also experienced the experiences. He smoked the weed. He bought the cocaine. He sold the cocaine and bought the Mercedes and expensive clothes. In the programmed minds of the judge and jury, he is guilty. The defendant was never aware of the fact that he had full control over his own mind, even though he knew he had the ability to manipulate and control others.

Until we realise, that we are not free, we are not free. We are not free to fully embody any situation. You are the feeling and the creator of the feeling. The creator experiencing his own creation. Our unique life is unfolding exactly as we created it. Some are living the life of an unemployed person, who depends on benefits. Some are living the life of an apprentice with aspirations to be a skilled tradesperson. Some are living a life of crime, where they break the rules to achieve the financial results that others earn through legal work.

Some are hoping and wishing for rewards they didn’t earn. What is lacking? If our lives are lacking it is because we lack ability. Ability is a treasure that cannot be stolen. Ability must be earned. The level of a person’s ability is dependent on having an equal level of understanding, but understanding alone does not equate to ability. Many people who have sufficient understanding to do things are compromised by procrastination. Ability requires understanding, but understanding doesn’t necessarily lead to ability.

Ability requires practice and repetition. Practice must have benchmarks in order that quantitative evaluations can take place. For example, a competent bricklayer may be required to lay 600+ bricks in a day that are plumb and comply with the drawings (dimensions) and specification (quality). If an apprentice learns about brickwork technology in college, he/she begins to expand their understanding. But understanding alone will not make them bricklayers. They must start laying bricks and checking the quality and quantity against the defined criteria for competence.

When the behaviours and results consistently conform to the criteria that determines skilled, we are skilled. This requires us to manage our mind’s perception in order to manipulate our amygdala so that we generate the emotional fuel for learning. For some it is the carrot (desire/motive) for others it is the stick (fear/anxiety). These extremes are not healthy, but they do work. An individual can spend a decade developing their ability in a sport, practicing almost every day, if not physically, then in terms of contemplating how to develop new skills or overcome stubborn plateaus.

In Western society individuals are encouraged to consume. As children we have birthday parties and consume sugar, carbohydrates and things that we enjoy the taste of. As adults we consume alcohol, drugs and listen to and watch content produced ‘by others’. What we are not doing whilst engaged in these activities is producing. Every technology on earth was first created in the mind before it was expressed in the world. What does this establish? It establishes that we have the innate ability to create.

Consumption is addictive, but it’s no substitute for producing. The mind that works in the factory is equal in its potential to the mind of the person who owns the factory. What does the employee lack that the employer does not? Understanding and ability! Ability is determined by understanding but not necessarily the effect of it. There can be no ability that exceeds understanding. All endeavours require sufficient emotional fuel. An addict feels so good when they take the drug, whilst having an awareness of how they feel when they don’t.

The emotional fuel that is derived from taking the drug is fuelling the emotions (desire) and perceived need to take the drug. This is why addiction is so powerful, it creates a self-perpetuating desire (internal) for the consumption (external) of a substance. If an addict could use their own internal motivation and desire in the active pursuit of other goals, they would be unstoppable. Procrastination is caused by a lack of emotional fuel. Addiction is caused by the addict’s knowledge of the fact of the emotional reward felt when they consume the addictive stimulus.

People who are content with their life are not ambitious. This is because they already experience a quality of life that those who work all the hours for money do not. People who are content do not suffer from procrastination. Procrastination is caused by a wish for something that we lack the emotional fuel to actually get around to doing. How could we have become so ineffectual? The reason is found in our history. Not too long ago slavery was used in many jurisdictions throughout the world.

The European economy operated on a system called feudalism. Feudalism relied upon a form of slavery called serfdom. If a serf didn’t work, they didn’t eat and the land they lived on was owned by the land owner. They couldn’t be bought or sold, but they needed a roof over their head and food and water. So, they worked to live. Their emotional fuel was survival. Survival is the most powerful motivator. It manifests as the fight or flight response. It can manifest as fear, phobia or a complete absence of compassion. We do everything for the feeling! Everything!

Emotions are the fuel that sustain us. Emotions are also the only prize in life worth pursuing. In folk tales and faery tales, the happy ever after or the pot of gold is the prize waiting for the hero who can overcome the challenges along the way. When the prize of our endeavours is happiness and giving up is certain death, our conscious and unconscious will autonomously create powerful feelings (neurochemicals) to drive us to success. The push/pull complex. The minds of most people are being operated by a push (fear) and a pull (desire) complex.

This push and pull could be that I hate my job, but I have to pay bills and I love alcohol and like buying nice things. For most people alive today, this is how they are managing the miraculous resource that is their mind. This delivers a quality of life that is not much more than survival. With the exception of evenings, which are spent in recovery from the day’s work and weekends, there is very little relief from the constant neurochemical (emotional) pressures of the psychological complex that we call life. We call this existence normality.

When an individual becomes aware of the complex but feels powerless to undo it, they usually seek the help of a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Doctor, Hypnotherapist or religious minister. All of these professionals assist the patient in their efforts to deal with the unwanted effects/symptoms of their predicament. None of them bring to the attention of the patient the fact that the unwanted complex is simply caused by the way in which they are unwittingly and, in most cases, unknowingly managing the amazing resource that is their own mind.

There are people who don’t want to work, but must work to earn money to pay the bills. They fear homelessness whilst still desiring the things that only money can buy. An extreme example of the ‘push (fear) pull (desire) complex is the story of the Israelites. The Israelites choice was to leave Egypt (Exodus) or live in slavery. Once you understand the “technology” of your own emotions, you are no longer at the mercy of your personal mind’s “operating system.” A believer’s mind is operated by the beliefs he/she has placed their faith in.

If you are reading this in a prison cell, consider the fact that your mind’s potential is equal to the greatest among us. This is because the potential of each and every mind is equal and that potential is unlimited. Ability is not an innate gift, but a treasure that must be earned through understanding, effort and repetition. Nobody can do our work for us. We must restore personal sovereignty and start doing the work that is necessary to develop the abilities to create real independence.

Many belief systems are literal mind viruses. They grow and spread to contaminate every area of life. But like most viruses, the way to render them harmless before they take hold is to understand a little of what each of them are. So, we must understand what belief systems are. The most damaging mind viruses to humanity are religions, cults and political ideologies. The religions of Islam, Christianity, Judaism have created much death. Then there are the political concepts which create implied or explicit models of existence.

The concepts of Communism, Nationalism, Diversity, Patriotism, Multiculturalism, Feminism, Racism and Transgenderism have caused much damage, justifying what in the eyes of God cannot be justified. Christ is our only example. No religion, movement or ideology can provide a better example to mankind. How can all these different religions and ideologies live and thrive without the threat of attack from the others? Separation! We must never adopt an archetypal belief system that prevent our natural God-given expression.

We must consciously choose what ‘if anything’ to consider as fact and only in the form of a hypothesis. We can only believe what we do not know. This means that every belief without exception has our faith and we have therefore placed our faith in something that we don’t know is fact. Experience is fact. Let’s use an example of where reality doesn’t fit the model. If we take a patio area of 50m2 and calculate how many 900mm x 600mm slabs we can fit into this area, we simply divide 50m2 by the area of a slab.

The area of a slab that is 900mm x 600mm is 0.54m2. Therefore, if we divide 50 by 0.54, we get the number of slabs required. It would look like this:

50.00 / 0.54 = 92.59 slabs

If we round this up to 93 slabs, we mathematically calculate the number of slabs required. However, the model is not reality. Reality rarely fits the model. The shape and configuration of our 50m2 is likely to require cuts and many of those offcuts will not fit other areas of the patio. What does this mean? It means we must make allowances for reduction in useable slabs, caused by the generation of waste when cutting. The size of each offcut is equal to the reduction in useable slabs. If you generate 2.7 m2 in waste from your 93 slabs, you won’t have enough left to finish.

What does this mean? It means that whilst the mathematical model works, it only works within the contemplated situation. The contemplated model is always perfect. The models of law, education and manufacturing are all perfect. However, as the results of their application become evident those models will change, establishing that the original model was nothing more than a hallucination. In 1952 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

In 1952 the DSM recorded 106 diagnoses each considered to be a model by which the same symptoms observed in others, would result in the ‘correct’ diagnosis. In 2022 the manual, the DSM-5-TR (published in 2022), listed 298 mental disorders. This reveals that the original model was incomplete. If we also look at treatment plans for many of these disorders, we find them to be ineffectual. However, these mind viruses, when they take hold, tend to become law in the mind of the believer who will argue and debate for their relevance and continued use.

It is essential, where possible, to test any model before allowing it to become part of the existential software that operates our own mind. A criminal’s mind virus is harmful to others. An alcoholic’s mind virus is primarily but not exclusively harmful to self. The expressed and observed behaviour that creates a criminal, an addict or a lazy person is always a mind virus that our faith allowed to enter our mind to become our opinion and place limits upon our own volition. We can only remove our personal mind’s efficiency cap by consciously and deliberately removing our faith in all limiting beliefs.

Morality and Integrity

Posted on by

Morality is a series of self-imposed volitional limits (I-beliefs) that permit or prohibit certain potential behaviours by establishing what the mind can and cannot do. Each I-belief is a command to our mind. The ability to change our mind establishes that we are not our mind. If we were, we would be trapped within a dogmatic existence with no ability to change. In computer software development, when commands are written, unless there is a bug, they are absolute and work as designed. For example, in Python if we said: ‘if hungry eat two eggs and 1 slice of bacon, else, eat nothing’, then hunger would be the biological signal (variable) for eating food. What most people actually do with their own mind is different. Many people, come to the conclusion, that if they like the taste of food, re-experiencing the taste is the objective, so the ‘craving’ for the taste becomes the variable, not hunger or strictly observed meal times.

Why is it that Python works as designed when a command is written, but the human mind that created it, does not? The body is the clue. Python does not have a body. Python, not having a body, cannot use a body’s feelings as ‘variables’ that determine behaviour. Python does not get hungry. Python does not have variables that create behaviours that are in conflict, with its own rules. When the mind has conflict, the mind and body are in conflict. The human body provides feedback in the form of feelings, that are used to judge the quality of our life. The body cannot and should not be ignored. We are not our body and we are not our mind, but whilst alive we are both beneficiary and victim of how we manage both. How do we know we are not our body? We know because we have to fight our body’s impulses, when it causes addiction, fear, anger, procrastination and anxiety. For an addict, those impulses are stronger than their own will.

The body gets hungry, thirsty, tired and lustful. These are not always a conscious choice, but those cravings have the power to disturb our peace of mind and focus. Collectively, the ten commandments are existential software (code) for the mind. A computer language allows the coder to create a synthetic mind. Software is a synthetic mind. The reason it works is because it is instinctively created by a real mind but does not include the psychological dysfunction (blind spots) of its creator. All software is a copy of the creator’s understanding. This understanding is their own mind’s understanding. Software created in Python works by rules and logic. If, elif and else, enables functions to create conditional rules for options (variables) that are determined by conditions.

For example: ‘If’ it is raining outside, wear a coat, ‘else’ don’t, is a line of code that determines whether or not to wear a coat. The software is the evidence that establishes how the mind works. But unlike computer software, humans have a body that has its own operating (software) system. This is the difference. In this world we have addiction, ignorance, violence, sexual violence, theft and selfishness. Selfishness is encouraged by competition and men are judged by their personal performance and material success and women by their physical beauty. What is morality? Morality is the compassionate justification for self-imposed volitional limits placed upon behavioural expression. Morality is the ‘rules’ to be observed that ensure that we don’t do what is immoral. The ten commandments were not simply laws, they were existential code, which when believed established personal limits upon the expression of our mind. Free will ensures that, like all code, it can be self-edited (corrupted).

Von Neumann said computers were inspired by the nervous system and human cognition. In “The Computer and the Brain” (1958): “The procedures that we call algorithms are precisely the rules that a human would follow in carrying out a computation.” Alan Turing linked computation to human mental procedure. In “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (1950) he wrote that a machine’s operations are a formalisation of what a human “computer” (a person doing calculations) already does step-by-step. His model (the Turing Machine) is an abstraction of a person following rules with pencil and paper.

Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics framed machines as externalised human control and thought. Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, MIT Press, 1948, p. 19. “The machine is the exact analogue of the nervous system.” John McCarthy, Dartmouth Conference Proposal, 1955 “Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.”

The ten commandments are existential software created to programme the mind, but they can only be empowered, if we place our faith in them. Like any line of code, they only work as designed, if we do not have any conflicting beliefs (code), to compromise them. This is why the first commandment. Free will means that we are free to place our faith in them, or we are free to refuse to. Conflicting beliefs (code) are the reason why people who believe in the ten commandments break them. A conflicting belief is how opposing armies are formed within the same mind. One army restricts, and the other works to tempt the believer. For example, thou shalt not commit adultery is the root belief, from which many other contextually related beliefs (commands) should develop. This reinforces the resolve, making it stronger. However, the lust and desire exploited by pornography are so powerful, that in order to overcome the power of the belief, I should not commit adultery, they can result in the creation of conflicting beliefs, or are edited along the lines of: ‘but, if nobody finds out, it won’t hurt anyone’.

All beliefs are lines of code. An example of a conflicting or ambiguous belief is believing I must not kill, ‘unless’ I have to. Unless is a variable, that negates the power of that commandment to corrupt the mind. The first belief is literally disempowered by the variable, meaning that murder is a conditional response. This is a loss of the mind’s moral integrity. The desire for sex can be very strong and this can lead to the creation of beliefs, like ‘I don’t care’. This belief programmes a perceptually induced neurochemical response (emotions) that denies compassion. These temptations lead to variables that create a thief, murderer or rapist. The mind and therefore the body, can be used to create or to destroy. The criminal lines of code must be created in the mind, in order to corrupt it, before the body can perform those acts. The integrity of a Christian mind is sustained by rejecting any beliefs that would compromise it.

Unless born with a disability or injured, we each and all have sovereignty over our own mind. The mind is the operating system where we can create ‘anything’. The imagination is not restricted by the laws of physics. The brain is the hardware that is initially, exclusively operated by the autonomic system and the mind’s source code/firmware. The power of the mind to interfere with the autonomic system that operates the body is demonstrated by a phobia and psychosomatic bodily afflictions. What is termed a phobia is evidence of the power of every single mind. A phobia is a command that is unusual in the activities or behaviours it prohibits. A Christian’s mind is the only technology they are required to master in their lifetime.

The archives of the world reveal the historical development of our collective understanding. However, this understanding is not our personal understanding. If there is crime, violence, poverty, sexual violence, war, inequality and suffering in the world, then the world and those who control it are not fit to be our educators. God should be our only educator. Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You have complete sovereignty over your own mind. You are not a victim!

The reason people cannot stop drinking is because they ‘believe’ they cannot stop drinking. The belief is a line of code. The power of each belief is the ‘faith’ it obtains. ‘FAITH IS THE POWER OF GOD GIVEN TO MAN’. If you want to know how the mind works learn to write code and develop software. The bugs that prevent success in achieving the software’s functional objectives, are exactly the same in the mind. The software developer observes how a bug affects the outcome and learns to detect and eradicate those bugs.

All software is a series of commands that take into account a number of contemplated variables. For example, in order to ensure that I do not drink alcohol and drive, using Python I may write code as follows:
if drink == “alcohol”:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”

This is not only how Python works but how the human mind works. We are not our mind and we are not our body. Why then, if we know we should not drink and drive, do we? Because in order to feel certain ‘feelings’, that we crave, we succumb to that temptation, by creating conflicting code that gives us a choice to sustain integrity or to temporarily abandon it. In life, we do everything for the ‘feeling’. A friend may say to us, ‘I drink and drive all the time and I have never been caught’. This may lead to the conclusion (belief) that I’m not going to be caught, which could also be supported by the creation of the belief, ‘I drive as good drunk as I do sober’. The motive for this loss of integrity is almost exclusively the feelings we experience whilst drinking alcohol. Alcohol and drugs can feel so good that we may want to prolong the experience through continued consumption. Unfortunately, alcohol can impair judgement and physical performance. The moral compromise is created using code that is assembled along the following lines.
The believer, compromises his own mind by knowingly introducing a variable about risk or consequences:
if drink == “alcohol” and chance_of_being_caught > 0.5:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”

The desire for sex is not only an effect of consuming alcohol. Alcohol also has a profound effect on the mind’s ability to sustain its discernment and judgement which has been a factor in many violent crimes, including rape. Alcohol is used as a tool to temporarily shut down the moral constraints that prevent enjoyment, laughter and in many cases, arousal. The two biggest forces that cause us to edit our mind’s personal code (beliefs) are ‘fear’ and ‘desire’. Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

When someone gets between us and our ‘desires’ we can become jealous, violent, hateful, heretical, dishonest, selfish and this can lead to the development of numerous commands (beliefs), which our mind can and will act upon. Listen to a football hooligan talk about the fans of an opposing football team and it is like listening to someone talking about their enemy. This can and does lead to violence. Listen to a constituent who votes for one political party talk about someone who votes for the opposing party.

Propaganda is produced in order to obtain the faith of the masses. Propaganda is a number of proposed beliefs that ‘demonise’ a target group. This leads to beliefs that not only justify disrespect, hatred and violence, but if believed, will literally edit the mind’s perception of the target group, leading to a change in our behaviour towards them. The power of beliefs to control the mind of a believer is ‘absolute’. That power is faith. The body’s fear of pain, can create what some refer to as a coward. This label is not helpful. Fear is a ‘perceptually induced neurochemical response’ that is felt in the body. It is a function (belief) that is created to inhibit.

Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” We have the power (faith) to do anything, unless we believe we cannot. This is because the belief that we cannot is also empowered by faith. Each and every one of our beliefs has faith. The following saying is attributed to Henry Ford: “A man who believes he can and man who believes he cannot, are both right”. This is sometimes stated as: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.” This literally describes how faith works.

The commandments were given to create a world that we can all share in peace and harmony. These commands are lines of existential code. They can only be empowered by ‘faith’. Every ‘I-belief’ is a rule-enforcing instruction. These instructions are absolute unless and until we create an ‘if’, ‘elif’ and/or ‘then’ rule. So as children our friends may say why don’t you throw stones and break some windows in a derelict or abandoned house. My response may be: ‘because its wrong, and if I do, I will be punished’. Then our friends may say, ‘only if you get caught’.

This indicates that the child has been educated (programmed) to believe that they will be punished and fear of punishment is much stronger than the moral argument that it is wrong to damage someone else’s property. If the child can be persuaded to believe they won’t get caught and therefore will not be punished, they may create new line of code (belief), along the lines of: “If I don’t tell anyone, no one will know and I won’t get punished”. Then they unconsciously construct a belief that supports the breaking of windows, using ‘if’ or ‘elif’ or ‘else’ statements. The desire (feelings) to fit in and be liked may be stronger than the awareness of their personal moral responsibility and obligation. The obligation is to ‘self’.

This is how the mind works! The introduction of this kind of compromise creates moral conflict. The moral conflict is created to permit immoral behaviour. This is assisted by creating contemplated contexts that justify where and when some behaviours are acceptable and when and where they are not. This is how we corrupt our own mind. Corruption of the mind is like corruption of the code. If we do not run the code several times under different conditions a bug may be present that is not apparent and is not detected immediately. What works perfectly at six years of age may create a profound psychological problem later in life. The mind is eternal and once the code is created it operates ‘perfectly’ until it is edited. Many people live with limitation for their entire life, not realising that every mind is not only equal, but it’s potential is unlimited. If when you enter 2 + 2, the result equals 9, and you know that the result is incorrect, this means that the method of calculation is incorrect. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding.

Integrity is required to ensure that our personal code (beliefs) is not compromised. The belief that I must love my wife and children and be faithful, must not be compromised by conflicting beliefs. The reason an individual may create conflicting code (beliefs) may be due to a loss of sexual attraction, sexual attraction to someone outside of the marriage or a lack of sexual fulfilment within it. In life, we do everything for the feeling! This may lead to the belief (code) that ‘I DESERVE MORE’. This belief opens the door to thoughts about what ‘MORE’ looks like. If it looks like someone else, a believer may use their mind to create fantasies about someone else.

This in itself is not the act of infidelity or adultery, but it is likely to lead to an addiction to those thoughts, which lead to ideas. Matthew 5:27–28 (KJV) “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” As long as the individual does not change the belief that I must be faithful, or create a conflicting belief that disempowers it, they will be faithful. However, the belief that I deserve more, can bring thoughts that could result in the creation of an awareness of what something more looks like. This is where any qualifying people who fit the role of our fantasy, become the focus of our attention. This is when there is a risk to our mind’s integrity. If we strike up a conversation and there is rapport, the fantasy now has a subject which may lead to the creation of new, conflicting beliefs that remove the mind’s moral integrity. This removes the behavioural (volitional) limits that are necessary for a life of integrity.

This is where statements like: ‘I know I should not, but’ begin to contaminate how we contemplate potential opportunities for sin. The contemplation of situations and opportunities, where the person will not get caught, begin to enter the mind. This leads to fantasies about how to cheat without getting caught. This can become a compelling fantasy and bring a person closer to acquiring a conflicting belief that compromises and diminishes the power of the belief: ‘I must be faithful’. Contemplating doing something that goes against our own values, as long as the other person does not find out, is a temptation.

We succumb to temptation through self-deception. For example, the belief: “if I could sleep with someone else without my spouse ever finding out, it would do no harm.” This is a contextually specific example of how we compromise the integrity of our own mind. We are born with sovereignty over our own mind. The ability to self-programme the mind is something that is God-given. This ability is exploited by others who seek to vicariously programme our mind for their benefit or the benefit of the systemic paradigm they personally exploit. Religion, Education, Politics, Marketing, Sales, Potential Spouses and those seeking one night stands all compete for our faith in their words, through the manipulation of our perception.

Faith is the power of God given to man. Beliefs about others determine our perception of them. Every single emotional response, ‘without exception’, is a perceptually induced neurochemical response. What we believe about our self in existential terms, we will become. To be born again means to take back sovereignty over our own mind and withdraw our faith in all the beliefs that compromise our integrity. This is the end of personal doubt. When we know, we have no need of beliefs, because we know. An addict’s integrity is compromised by the fact that they want to stop the lows but they don’t want to stop experiencing the highs.

Mark 3:25 KJV “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” The whole mind is collective, not personal. The whole mind is the kingdom of heaven, where all prayers are answered. ‘I can’, creates the karma of some and ‘I can’t’ creates the karma for others. Our life, is the answer to our prayers. Beliefs are prayers and all prayers are answered. The belief ‘I can’ and the belief ‘I cannot’ are both realised. Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

Integrity is a mind that does not have conflicting beliefs. A software that has conflicting lines of code will create bugs. The cause of these bugs will be one or more lines of conflicting code working to achieve conflicting objectives. This is experienced by the feeling of ‘doubt’ when faced with the conflicting choice of desire or obligation. Once detected by a software engineer, the bug is fixed and the functional objective is achieved. In life, theft, dishonesty, rape and murder are the effect of bugs in the mind. We can say that the person lacks morality or that they are evil. That is an easy and extremely lazy way of looking at how the mind operates. If we compare a criminal with a person who does not commit crime, they may look the same and they may dress the same. What is different is the code (beliefs) that operates their individual minds. The mind is a subtle form of the body. The body is a denser form of the mind.

Morality and Integrity

Posted on by

Morality is a series of self-imposed volitional limits (I-beliefs) that permit or prohibit certain potential behaviours by establishing what the mind can and cannot do. Each I-belief is a command to our mind. The ability to change our mind establishes that we are not our mind. If we were, we would be trapped within a dogmatic existence with no ability to change. In computer software development, when commands are written, unless there is a bug, they are absolute and work as designed. For example, in Python if we said: ‘if hungry eat two eggs and 1 slice of bacon, else, eat nothing’, then hunger would be the biological signal (variable) for eating food. What most people actually do with their own mind is different. Many people, come to the conclusion, that if they like the taste of food, re-experiencing the taste is the objective, so the ‘craving’ for the taste becomes the variable, not hunger or strictly observed meal times.
Why is it that Python works as designed when a command is written, but the human mind that created it, does not? The body is the clue. Python does not have a body. Python, not having a body, cannot use a body’s feelings as ‘variables’ that determine behaviour. Python does not get hungry. Python does not have variables that create behaviours that are in conflict, with its own rules. When the mind has conflict, the mind and body are in conflict. The human body provides feedback in the form of feelings, that are used to judge the quality of our life. The body cannot and should not be ignored. We are not our body and we are not our mind, but whilst alive we are both beneficiary and victim of how we manage both. How do we know we are not our body? We know because we have to fight our body’s impulses, when it causes addiction, fear, anger, procrastination and anxiety. For an addict, those impulses are stronger than their own will.
The body gets hungry, thirsty, tired and lustful. These are not always a conscious choice, but those cravings have the power to disturb our peace of mind and focus. Collectively, the ten commandments are existential software (code) for the mind. A computer language allows the coder to create a synthetic mind. Software is a synthetic mind. The reason it works is because it is instinctively created by a real mind but does not include the psychological dysfunction (blind spots) of its creator. All software is a copy of the creator’s understanding. This understanding is their own mind’s understanding. Software created in Python works by rules and logic. If, elif and else, enables functions to create conditional rules for options (variables) that are determined by conditions.
For example: ‘If’ it is raining outside, wear a coat, ‘else’ don’t, is a line of code that determines whether or not to wear a coat. The software is the evidence that establishes how the mind works. But unlike computer software, humans have a body that has its own operating (software) system. This is the difference. In this world we have addiction, ignorance, violence, sexual violence, theft and selfishness. Selfishness is encouraged by competition and men are judged by their personal performance and material success and women by their physical beauty. What is morality? Morality is the compassionate justification for self-imposed volitional limits placed upon behavioural expression. Morality is the ‘rules’ to be observed that ensure that we don’t do what is immoral. The ten commandments were not simply laws, they were existential code, which when believed established personal limits upon the expression of our mind. Free will ensures that, like all code, it can be self-edited (corrupted).
Von Neumann said computers were inspired by the nervous system and human cognition. In “The Computer and the Brain” (1958): “The procedures that we call algorithms are precisely the rules that a human would follow in carrying out a computation.” Alan Turing linked computation to human mental procedure. In “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (1950) he wrote that a machine’s operations are a formalisation of what a human “computer” (a person doing calculations) already does step-by-step. His model (the Turing Machine) is an abstraction of a person following rules with pencil and paper.
Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics framed machines as externalised human control and thought. Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, MIT Press, 1948, p. 19. “The machine is the exact analogue of the nervous system.” John McCarthy, Dartmouth Conference Proposal, 1955 “Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.”
The ten commandments are existential software created to programme the mind, but they can only be empowered, if we place our faith in them. Like any line of code, they only work as designed, if we do not have any conflicting beliefs (code), to compromise them. This is why the first commandment. Free will means that we are free to place our faith in them, or we are free to refuse to. Conflicting beliefs (code) are the reason why people who believe in the ten commandments break them. A conflicting belief is how opposing armies are formed within the same mind. One army restricts, and the other works to tempt the believer. For example, thou shalt not commit adultery is the root belief, from which many other contextually related beliefs (commands) should develop. This reinforces the resolve, making it stronger. However, the lust and desire exploited by pornography are so powerful, that in order to overcome the power of the belief, I should not commit adultery, they can result in the creation of conflicting beliefs, or are edited along the lines of: ‘but, if nobody finds out, it won’t hurt anyone’.
All beliefs are lines of code. An example of a conflicting or ambiguous belief is believing I must not kill, ‘unless’ I have to. Unless is a variable, that negates the power of that commandment to corrupt the mind. The first belief is literally disempowered by the variable, meaning that murder is a conditional response. This is a loss of the mind’s moral integrity. The desire for sex can be very strong and this can lead to the creation of beliefs, like ‘I don’t care’. This belief programmes a perceptually induced neurochemical response (emotions) that denies compassion. These temptations lead to variables that create a thief, murderer or rapist. The mind and therefore the body, can be used to create or to destroy. The criminal lines of code must be created in the mind, in order to corrupt it, before the body can perform those acts. The integrity of a Christian mind is sustained by rejecting any beliefs that would compromise it.
Unless born with a disability or injured, we each and all have sovereignty over our own mind. The mind is the operating system where we can create ‘anything’. The imagination is not restricted by the laws of physics. The brain is the hardware that is initially, exclusively operated by the autonomic system and the mind’s source code/firmware. The power of the mind to interfere with the autonomic system that operates the body is demonstrated by a phobia and psychosomatic bodily afflictions. What is termed a phobia is evidence of the power of every single mind. A phobia is a command that is unusual in the activities or behaviours it prohibits. A Christian’s mind is the only technology they are required to master in their lifetime.
The archives of the world reveal the historical development of our collective understanding. However, this understanding is not our personal understanding. If there is crime, violence, poverty, sexual violence, war, inequality and suffering in the world, then the world and those who control it are not fit to be our educators. God should be our only educator. Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You have complete sovereignty over your own mind. You are not a victim!
The reason people cannot stop drinking is because they ‘believe’ they cannot stop drinking. The belief is a line of code. The power of each belief is the ‘faith’ it obtains. ‘FAITH IS THE POWER OF GOD GIVEN TO MAN’. If you want to know how the mind works learn to write code and develop software. The bugs that prevent success in achieving the software’s functional objectives, are exactly the same in the mind. The software developer observes how a bug affects the outcome and learn to detect and eradicate those bugs.

All software is a series of commands that take into account a number of contemplated variables. For example, in order to ensure that I do not drink alcohol and drive, using Python I may write code as follows:
if drink == “alcohol”:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
This is not only how Python works but how the human mind works. We are not our mind and we are not our body. Why then, if we know we should not drink and drive, do we? Because in order to feel certain ‘feelings’, that we crave, we succumb to that temptation, by creating conflicting code that gives us a choice to sustain integrity or to temporarily abandon it. In life, we do everything for the ‘feeling’. A friend may say to us, ‘I drink and drive all the time and I have never been caught’. This may lead to the conclusion (belief) that I’m not going to be caught, which could also be supported by the creation of the belief, ‘I drive as good drunk as I do sober’. The motive for this loss of integrity is almost exclusively the feelings we experience whilst drinking alcohol. Alcohol and drugs can feel so good that we may want to prolong the experience through continued consumption. Unfortunately, alcohol can impair judgement and physical performance. The moral compromise is created using code that is assembled along the following lines.
The believer, compromises his own mind by knowingly introducing a variable about risk or consequences:
if drink == “alcohol” and chance_of_being_caught > 0.5:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
The desire for sex is not only an effect of consuming alcohol. Alcohol also has a profound effect on the mind’s ability to sustain its discernment and judgement which has been a factor in many violent crimes, including rape. Alcohol is used as a tool to temporarily shut down the moral constraints that prevent enjoyment, laughter and in many cases, arousal. The two biggest forces that cause us to edit our mind’s personal code (beliefs) are ‘fear’ and ‘desire’. Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
When someone gets between us and our ‘desires’ we can become jealous, violent, hateful, heretical, dishonest, selfish and this can lead to the development of numerous commands (beliefs), which our mind can and will act upon. Listen to a football hooligan talk about the fans of an opposing football team and it is like listening to someone talking about their enemy. This can and does lead to violence. Listen to a constituent who votes for one political party talk about someone who votes for the opposing party.
Propaganda is produced in order to obtain the faith of the masses. Propaganda is a number of proposed beliefs that ‘demonise’ a target group. This leads to beliefs that not only justify disrespect, hatred and violence, but if believed, will literally edit the mind’s perception of the target group, leading to a change in our behaviour towards them. The power of beliefs to control the mind of a believer is ‘absolute’. That power is faith. The body’s fear of pain, can create what some refer to as a coward. This label is not helpful. Fear is a ‘perceptually induced neurochemical response’ that is felt in the body. It is a function (belief) that is created to inhibit.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” We have the power (faith) to do anything, unless we believe we cannot. This is because the belief that we cannot is also empowered by faith. Each and every one of our beliefs has faith. The following saying is attributed to Henry Ford: “A man who believes he can and man who believes he cannot, are both right”. This is sometimes stated as: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.” This literally describes how faith works.
The commandments were given to create a world that we can all share in peace and harmony. These commands are lines of existential code. They can only be empowered by ‘faith’. Every ‘I-belief’ is a rule-enforcing instruction. These instructions are absolute unless and until we create an ‘if’, ‘elif’ and/or ‘then’ rule. So as children our friends may say why don’t you throw stones and break some windows in a derelict or abandoned house. My response may be: ‘because its wrong, and if I do, I will be punished’. Then our friends may say, ‘only if you get caught’.
This indicates that the child has been educated (programmed) to believe that they will be punished and fear of punishment is much stronger than the moral argument that it is wrong to damage someone else’s property. If the child can be persuaded to believe they won’t get caught and therefore will not be punished, they may create new line of code (belief), along the lines of: “If I don’t tell anyone, no one will know and I won’t get punished”. Then they unconsciously construct a belief that supports the breaking of windows, using ‘if’ or ‘elif’ or ‘else’ statements. The desire (feelings) to fit in and be liked may be stronger than the awareness of their personal moral responsibility and obligation. The obligation is to ‘self’.
This is how the mind works! The introduction of this kind of compromise creates moral conflict. The moral conflict is created to permit immoral behaviour. This is assisted by creating contemplated contexts that justify where and when some behaviours are acceptable and when and where they are not. This is how we corrupt our own mind.

Integrity is required to ensure that our personal code (beliefs) is not compromised. The belief that I must love my wife and children and be faithful, must not be compromised by conflicting beliefs.

Religion

Posted on by

Religion is a misrepresentation of God. Religion is not of God because it seeks to define God. Religion is the wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Lamb is the innocent child. All children are God’s children. The wolf occupies the perspective of the mother to justify the lack of compassion that must exist for a mother to deny the feelings of her own child. Moral values are ‘demons’ each and every one of them. What is is! ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are concepts each competing to define the same thing. Good and bad are demons that prejudice our perception.
