Are Thoughts Reflected In The Physical and Metaphysical Universe?

Perfectly worded questions that seem to resonate just keep popping up?

Organisms programmed to survive usually just chill or play when faced with free time. Humans drew, spoke, and wrote. Seem to be programmed to find out why, for some reason.

Are we exploring the universe as the eyes, ears, and brains for some thing? Slaves to knowledge or some metaphysical energy trying to explore and find out what it is? 

Hmmm... Life is the result of some thing trying to explore and find out where it is, what it is, etc.? Seems true.

That would explain why no other species evolved to do calculus. No need. 

Would also explain why humans developed intellectually so quickly. Explains many things?

So, we are like fingernails on a bigger thing? Likely. Too gloomy. We are part of the knowledge that is accumulated? Better.

Even better. Life is part of the consciousness waking up and exploring the universe?

Just imagining?

Another mystery revealed - How psychedelic drugs work in the brain. 

A study states that psilocybin seems to reduce activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that helps regulate a number of cognitive functions, including attention, inhibitory control, habits and memory. It could reduce focus on the self and related constraints, thereby impart an "open mind" on the individual.

Use overtones when talking about resonate? Okay.

Stars Are More Massive, The Further Away

According to a study in Science Daily: New discovery about distant galaxies: Stars are more massive than we thought

"... stars in distant galaxies are typically more massive than those in our local neighborhoods, and that the farther away the researchers look, the more massive the average stars become.", the study stated.

Maybe, dark matter might not be needed to explain 'missing mass' of spinning far off galaxies and stuff? 

Still need something to explain dark energy. Wonder if black holes turn mass into space? The two great unknowns might have a connection. If mass can be turned into energy in stars, maybe mass turns into space inside a black hole? Who knows? Space is related to time, energy and mass, so seems likely. Maybe even space-time.

In deep learning, AI software is designed to work like a human brain for certain functions. For example, placing importance or weight on current information over outdated information.

In a decade or so, there should be enough AI software to mimic most basic functions of the human brain? Eventually, probably mimic a human. Could it be then that the The Question is answered?

Resonance And Dissonance

Resonance and dissonance are relative and depends on the reference frequency or key.

So, the key for metaphysical, or maybe thought, resonance is truth? Logically.

Or, is it constructive knowledge can be built on truth and true assumptions? Seems to be both.

Resonance tends to linger longer than dissonance?

Strange society, if one thinks about it. Full of contradictions. Some people kill each other for fun in online games. Should be more advanced than that.

Wonder if mass shooters played FPS games.

Heroic rescuers, kidney donors, and other highly empathetic people have larger amygdalas than normal, per CNN report on heroes. The amygdala is related to generating the experience of fear and empathizing with other people's fear, the report said.

Fear is a mostly physically-based emotion? Can cause dissonance?

Lived in Manoa Valley, for a time. Language can be confusing. Interchangeably use so many words...

Overcoming Social Addiction?

Could too many people be too dependent on their society and status quo?

If you are not a part of society, apparently there is something wrong according to society. Anti-social is a dirty word. But everyone is anti-present society, right?

Most people don't agree with many aspects of society but due to education and peers...are caught in loop, it seems?

Avoiding social contact as much as possible works wonders but is hard to do, at first? Love, friendships, excitement, etc., are like addictions and hard to stop, even for a while? But one needs to take a break for proper perspective. 

They say friendships are good for health and longevity. True in many cases, but depends on friend and person. 

Being mostly alone is hard to do but recommended to older people for a change. Seems to free time to get acquainted with the 'void'.

Younger people might need friends and a sense of belonging. Older people have already had the experience and need to try something else or new?

Talk about metaphysics and crowds will become sleepy and thoughts clouded. Discourse on metaphysics in the future could seem like speaking in tongues.

Are many too dependent on talking to pass time? Is talking too much an addiction? For some? For one? Used to be. For all? At times?

Also, does too much speaking lead to cognitive dissonance? Sometimes, the mouth seems to run off with the thoughts. The conscious loses control of thoughts and something false is spoken.

Definitely messes up thinking. If sufficient time is taken to recognize and realize the falseness of the thought, then the dissonance is resolved? If not, problem gets compounded and seemingly infinitely complex?

Were humans meant to evolve from being centered on survival to being centered on exploring the universe? Or is something driving humans to do so? Or were our brain genetics or epigenetics changed by radiation, chemicals, peyote, or something? Could be all of the above.

Society and media places a lot of importance on friendship and getting together to have fun. 

Since I can remember, media has touted 3 meals a day, family and friends are good for health and longevity, and other themes. Why not bombard people with stories about eating 3 meals a day is too many calories and unhealthy? Or negative friends and family can ruin health?

Shouldn't scientific studies have moved on from family and friends are good for health to more detailed studies? Same thing for over 50 years. People are like sheep, but come on.

Noradrenaline Strengthens Certain Memories

Noradrenaline is secreted in the brain when a surprising event happens - fear, joy, etc.

Science Daily: Study examines why the memory of fear is seared into our brains

Science Daily: How the brain responds to surprising events

All these chemicals affect the brain and consciousness, but have not yet been proven to be the cause of consciousness?

Could consciousness be like a software program for an organism's identity? The current status of the being. Evolved to survive, but with too much leisure time....?

Time will tell. Chimps in zoos have time, so do pet dogs, but...  

Information on brain functions appears to be growing exponentially. Very little was known until recently.

THC consumption appears to lower background noise in the mind, so thoughts can vibrate with less interference? (Personal supposition)

But what background noise? Dissonance. Oh, I see now. Thanks.

Hear and 'feel' music more clearly? Taste more clearly? Think more clearly, for those who are able to think without dissonance?

With legalization, another age of metaphysics, or philosophy, will come sightly sooner? 

I used to think my thoughts led me here, but long ago, I came to the thought that 'something' led me here. Why would anyone think these thoughts, and for so long?

Metaphysical Black Hole Or Dimension?

Knowledge in books and stored form is just symbols until it is processed and retained by a 'brain' or 'consciousness'. 

Information has a metaphysical dimension and this dimension can be accessed by thought?

Or is it that information exists in a metaphysical dimension and this dimension can be accessed by thought? Or both? hehe.

So, when books are destroyed, only the physical dimension is destroyed. The metaphysical dimension (metaphysical concept, aspect) remains. So, just the physical information, not knowledge is lost, when a book is destroyed.

Good imagination? Or do thoughts resonate until they meet something that reflects the thoughts back to us and the mind coverts that something into consciousness, like some kind of radar?

Or do thoughts resonate until they meet something that is in the same key, or in tune with the thoughts and a 'node' (standing wave or resonance) is formed and the resonance then floats into consciousness?

Or do thoughts just interact with retained information in the mind until something resonates?

Could be all of the above, some thoughts to do this, some do that. LOL

Or when viewed from different perspectives?

Theory of Relativity was thought up by Einstein to resolve contradictions in physics.

Could do the same with metaphysics? A much more precise way of communication needs to be developed first. Extensive writing could be the ticket.

Scientific American: How the Brain ‘Constructs’ the Outside World

Summarized. There seems to be a process in the mind that reviews what is in the conscious, subconscious, stored information, and makes decisions about what to do and think.

Species Likely To Evolve Intellectually?

Species that educate their offspring and themselves. Many do?

Species that use language and math? Many do.

Closest would be chimps and apes that are able to use sign language? Teach them to teach themselves and wait a million years? Or is there something else?
