Life Change
Ever notice how no matter what you do, your imagination seems to want to act? Want to move? Your imagination seems to have a mind of its own? It doesn’t have a mind of its own. That seemingly independent mind is the semantic mind. And thus meditation. To watch the imagination’ stallions roam… unbridled —…

Realize the Presence of the Semantic
Let’s take the normal thinking and see what it does to semantic memory. Your frontal lobe generates the same sort of signals your senses do, and your semantic memory registers those at the same time it has to process your sensory experience itself. It has to produce one coherent memory, otherwise it would cease being…

Semantic Mind
To connect this back to why we identify as our stories rather than our intentions, well, there are two reasons. The one being natural tendencies to problem solve.

Metabolic Rhythms and Sensory Input
So duons… Our genetic code is read both vertically – by its output, and horizontally – by its signal sensitivity. Which means our genetics is more akin to a Celtic maze than a ladder which also means that the information cannot be accurately read in a static way. If protein output were enough, then yes,…

We always make a decision. I type these words and you will decide what they mean to you. It doesn’t have to be deliberate. We are conditioned if we aren’t instead mindful. It will happen one way or another.
Could our understanding of consciousness and soul evolution suggest that plants and trees are repositories of ancient wisdom? How might…
