Complexity and high numbers are often present without our awareness. We make ensembles of particular things like, the number of skin cells of our skin, like the number of hairs in our hair, the number of flakes in a bowl of cereal or of grains of rice in a meal. These high numbers, with the complexity that it can thus generate, is for the most part unconscious to us. Nonetheless, this is where the capacity for the functioning of the nervous system and functions like consciousness and reasoning and memory take place. Supernatural powers are projected on to the nervous system and the DNA but the case must be made that these alleged supernatural powers are actually the direct effect of the functioning of nervous system and other informational aspects of ourselves like DNA.
Life and Spirituality
Do you feel and think that there is something so astoundingly special about life and your human experience, I mean your thoughts, knowledge, emotions, love of your mate, kids, friends, that surely something miraculous has to be at the foundation of it?
Does that leave you thinking that science and knowledge are nice but that they don’t cover what life is all about and so spirituality can not be dismissed?
Well, this what the Informational Self sheds light upon.
How are information and spirit the same thing?
Information is real, but what does it look like? What does it weigh? What does it smell like?
Information is coded. The content of information is not dependent on the material on which it is written. It depends on the patterns that the language uses. Because of this, information has unique properties. For exemple it is weightless and odorless. Information is physically dependent on what it is coded upon to exist. This material is almost irrelevant. That gives it its ethereal properties.
Information is colorless and invisible of sorts. Taking apart a USB key, I could be looking at an important set of information but not be capable of even telling if it contains information.
This is important. I hold that spirit is not only very much like information and the processing of it. Spirit and information are in fact, the same thing. But furthermore, to be more precise, supernatural aspects of spirit simply do not exist.
Spirit is information like software and the processing of it. Information offers a more useful understanding of our selve.
