The very sense or feel of ‘Self’ or what we know as ‘I’, the mystical ‘Me’ is largely, if not exclusively, in relation to the milieus outside, not within. Our constant yet ever-changing interactions with our ambient external milieus largely define our Generic Consciousness – this very feel of ‘I’. There are vast Mechanismic interactional processes within our body and mind but they are almost largely not in the Conscious Domain. We are simply unaware of it. Innumerable neural and chemical processes are taking place within the body and mind every second but we never feel it; though they surely have their role and impact on shaping our subconscious, even conscious. Most of these processes are common in not only all humans but also most organisms and they happen for Homeostatic goals.
Therefore, for most practical purposes, the Self, the ‘I’ is almost purely ‘Contextual’ to the ‘Externalities’ of the world of Reality; especially the populist and trending parts of the cultures of ambient milieus. Therefore, we can say with definitive certainty that our Consciousness – the sense of Self or ‘I’, is Emergent, Transient, Evolving and Dialectical registry of EXTERNAL milieus, probably, expressed as analogous holographic representation of the field of massively complex information plexus.
What does this mean to us? What this modern, contemporary scientific assertion of Reality of ‘I’ or Consciousness Requires us to understand and accept, as against our Intuitive thinking and perception about our ‘Self’ or ‘I’? What this scientifically objective Reality necessitates to change or even reconstruct our Old, Archaic and now Redundant view about Self or ‘I’?
This is the core question, which the new humanity must understand and accept. This seeks to upstage our current perceptions, which we innately and intuitively make of ourselves. This installs with definitive certainty that we all need to evolve Non-Intuitive thinking and cognition to accept a completely unpopular yet Novel Reality of Self, ‘I’ or Consciousness. This intuitive perception of ‘I’ is an Illusion and the contemporary scientific knowledge of consciousness tells us why? It tells us about the mechanism and processes of body-brain plexus, which engenders consciousness. It tells us that because of these very mechanisms and processes, we all are born as confused, conflicted and in Perpetuation of Illusion of the unique nature. The consciousness is always transient and emergent and that is why constantly changes its locus, commensurate to external Information. However, as these processes are largely unconscious and subconscious; and our body and physicality of external milieus seem constant, we do not have the registry of it. This creates the dualism and conflict of our intuitive feel of ‘I’ being in one situation or perception, whereas our subconscious keeps altering its situation and cognition. Most people somehow realize this dualism and conflict of ‘I’, only as an afterthought or realization in retrospection. They feel; things happened; I led it to, but should not have happened. Simple reason is – the subconscious is designed to ‘react’ instinctively to external information or situation. Most people being in auto-mode reactionary consciousness, simply do what the situations call for. However, later, when conscious thoughtfulness broods over it, some of them may feel, they were ‘led’ to act and behave in a way, they should not have. They feel the ‘conflict’ of ‘I’. Most do not. This Scammed reality of Self or ‘I’; this wired and entrenched dualism or conflict, which keeps most of us Illusioned has to be understood and accepted…
Given this assertion of Reality about the Consciousness, as a Media that is designed to find its Existential Trappings largely in response to information feedbacks from External Milieus, we can clearly see and accept how every human being has some sort of an innate and entrenched potential to be a ‘Slave’ to its society and cultures. This somehow presents a predicament as well as a probable trouble that Consciousness and its so called Free Will and cognition is not independent; rather in perpetual Shackles of its immediate milieus and dominant cultures. Naturally, Reality, for every individual human may not be independent and objective as it shall always be susceptible to be ‘conditioned’ and ‘colored’ by the very ‘Localized’ shades and shapes of its populist and powerful External Milieus. This somehow makes the agenda clear for every human being and his or her consciousness. Reality has to be confronted only with a De-Cultured mind and for this to happen, one has to ‘Unlearn’ the cultural and milieu-specific cognitions. The embedded and ensconced ‘Localization’ of Consciousness has to be understood and then pruned and unlearnt very consciously. The ‘Cage’, which enslaves the Consciousness by restricting (localizing) its cognition of Holistic Reality, has to be broken and shackles removed. As we talked earlier, an evolved person has to understand the ‘field’ of intuitiveness, its restrictiveness and then look beyond in the field of non-intuitiveness to perfect the artistry of Holism or Reality in Entirety.
The objectivity and independence of Consciousness therefore, is not an Auto-Process; it has to be attained and arrived at, after aware and intended processes of Reverse-Learning. Slavery and Caging of Consciousness is in fact the entrenched auto-process of all minds. The evolution designed it this way for bare basics but humans now have the evolved brain and cosmopolitanized life-living milieus and also, the life-living agenda of humans is now not Survival but Excellence and wisdom. This auto-process needs to be unlearnt and reversed for the consciousness to see, understand and accept Reality in its true, objective and independent shape and hues; through an evolved Non-Intuitive Cognition to optimize the Potential, the consciousness can lead to.
The Agenda for new millennium humans is to be non-intuitively Aware of the twin processes – first the Internal processes of body and brain, which the contemporary science has so brilliantly deciphered for us. Secondly, awareness of the larger, cosmic, holistic, objective and integrated Reality of the External world – the matter, the energy, the new emerging and brilliantly critical idea of Information as reality et al. The contemporary science has transformed the Reality we humans have accepted so far and made the basis of our popular and persevered cultures. The new transformed human consciousness, with novel critical knowledge shall have to Reconstruct the existing cultures and civilizational benchmarks. Somehow, Change is too insufficient as it may not usher in the required quantity and quality of transformation in the domains of individual life-living, cultures and other human systems. This status quo has probably lingered too long; piling up the backlog of changes, which humanity should have brought about decades back. Also, the calamitous probabilities of entropic energies currently unleashed in contemporary human world are too powerful to be remedied by anything less than a complete Reconstruction. It is time for New Evolution. It is now; or never…
