Dear Auh,
My theory is SE is the product of mind. As a matter of fact I believe mind itself is SE. The effect of SE separating and emanating from the mind happens as long as the mind is not fully evolved. When fully evolved which is what a self realized soul is, mind becomes all powerful and SE no longer separates from the mind. The process of thinking itself stops and everything is just experiencing and spontaneous happening.
Since mind is what provides the intelligence, the SE emanating from it has inbuilt intelligence.
Dear Sravna,
Auh Ji asked the perfect question..
If this SE has inbuilt intelligence to solve intricate problems that your mind cannot fathom, why does it need you? Or any of us at all? It can very well cure everything at its own.
It makes sense that SE does not need you..in fact you had admitted in an earlier post that you have no idea about intricacy but just use SE.
I had told you in a reply..that means you are Inert but the SE is suffused with intelligent consciousness.
Ok Sravna...to put it bluntly why does SE need a Makku who known nuts about anything?LOL
You make it sound as if SE is disembodied intelligent matter that is totally helpless that it does not mind even inhabiting a Makku human being to get work done?
If SE has so much latent potential why the freak does it not figure out how to be sans a Makku human who want to control its usage?
Going by both science and philosophy..SE is not the mind.
According to science the Mind is a cognitive function of the brain as Auh rightly put in the AI thread.
According to philosophy the Antahkarana has a four fold function of Manas,Buddhi,Chitta and Ahamakara.
There is no mention of it being SE.
In fact philosophy says the we are not the body and not the mind and neither does it say the mind is SE.
Adi Shankara was not singing Aham SE Aham SE.
He was singing
Mano-Buddhy-Ahangkaara Cittaani Naaham
Na Ca Shrotra-Jihve Na Ca Ghraanna-Netre |
Na Ca Vyoma Bhuumir-Na Tejo Na Vaayuh
Cid-Aananda-Ruupah Shivo[a-A]ham Shivo[a-A]ham ||1||
Meaning:
1.1:Neither am I the Mind nor Intelligence or Ego,
1.2:Neither am I the organs of Hearing (Ears), nor that of Tasting (Tongue), Smelling (Nose) or Seeing (Eyes),
1.3:Neither am I the Sky, nor the Earth, Neither the Fire nor the Air,
1.4:I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Auspiciousness I am Auspiciousness
The Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness.
BTW Sravna...in a realized soul thinking does not stop..a realized soul is not a brain dead individual.
In a realized soul thoughts do not bind him..he is unattached to his thoughts and actions becos he has no motives to the fruits of his action and thoughts.
Even in Geeta Lord Krishna says
There is nothing in the three worlds, O Arjuna, that should be done by Me, nor is there anything unattained that should be attained; yet I engage Myself in action
So...Sravna...
When Krishna Himself performs action you mean to say a realized soul ceases to have thoughts?
I really do not see in anyway how your theories match with science or philosophy.
Its an utter chaos of neuronal short circuits.
