If someone tries to build an engine before knowing what the parts are, that is a problem. If that person then tries to teach someone how to build one before knowing what the parts are, that’s a problem too.
If someone wanted to order food without seeing a menu, there’s a problem. There’s no way to know what’s for sale from the kitchen until the menu can be seen.
If someone wanted to fly a helicopter, and they go do it without any understanding of the instruments on the dash panel, the levers, or driving anything, or anything whatsoever to help the process, that person will not be successful on the first flight. Not only do you have to know the helicopter, but you have to know the way that the reality works outside of the helicopter in which the helicopter is subject to.
In each case you do not have to know what the engine does to learn the parts, build it, and then teach someone how to build it, nor how the food tastes that is listed on the menu, nor how all of the technology in the undercarriage of the helicopter functions to allow flight. The only thing you would know according to these examples is how to build, what’s on the menu, and how to operate the helicopter in airspace.
When it comes to the mind, a lot of people can tell you a little piece about how the brain works mechanically, but if you ask them how to operate it or what can it do, they will not answer you correctly if they give you an answer at all.
The helicopter is a good example for this brain analogy.
The helicopter as we all know has a vast array of meters, modules, pedals, levers etc for the pilot to gauge from and command through. The pilot probably doesn’t care how the engine or the technology underneath is functioning other than what the meters say and what the levers do. The stuff underneath is for the mechanics to know who do not fly nor need to know how to fly.
Your mental faculties like proximity, sight, hearing, memory, language apprehension/expression etc work logically per the information that is input into them. Most people say there are 5 senses, and this is the only place information comes from that is important to you. That just isn’t the case.
There are more than 20 of these “logic faculties” I’ll call them, and they are all in the same tank of sensations together in the mind. That is to say that the mind is like a tank of sensations where each sensation that results from information being reacted to by each logic faculty emits information. What I mean is that when information is reacted to by any one of these logic faculties, you experience a sensation such as memory, sight, feelings, proximity to things, lingual, audio etc etc. That sensation that occurs in reaction to information is also information, and that information from the sensation is in direct contact with other logic faculties.
Take a look at my Hot Water Heater diagram I drew the other day.
So in a Hot Water Heater this is something called an Element. It receives the electricity from the wall, and it converts it to heat. It looks like this:
Here is what my diagram for analogy references. It’s the actual hot water heater and the heating elements.
The Water Heater is an allegory for the tank of information called the mind. If the mind were like a water heater, it would be a tank of information which comes from the various “heating elements.” These heating elements represent the logic faculties which i explained above.
The information enters the faculties from the 5 sense organs and from other faculties. Each one’s reaction to information is to make a sensation, and the information from each sensation is reacted to by other logic faculties.
My top diagram with the black tank and colorful content in it represents a metaphorical water tank with many heating elements not just two. The real water tanks have one or two heating elements. The real mind has over 20 logic faculties.
And then they mix with each other in a kind of informational tank forming every sensation you have ever known or are experiencing now including everything you know about the universe that was, is now, and will be; including yourself and other people.
Each logic faculty is working logically. There is no way for it to function logically, but the information can be a fallacy. If the logic faculties react on fallacious information, then the sensation that is created is a diluted one. This is what is meant by a delusion.
CONCLUSION
You ask how to “make a mind?” That’s how I read it, and I know most people don’t really know the answer.
I will tell you that you need to understand the “logic meters” from the “logic faculties” first. Then you need to understand how those are informational faculties that cannot work any other way than a strict universal code of logic.
Once you know what the parts are and what the parts can do, then you have the foundation of what you want to make which is the mind instead of a junk heap.
The next step is to experiment and practice using the logic faculties with information. Test their limits within reason. I mean we’re not talking about magic hocus pocus stuff, but take them for a test drive until you are very familiar with each one, and you can instantly go “Oh that’s my … faculty doing …, and if that one is doing that, then…”
Now you go to the next level, and that is how does all of this work in other people. You see I used the helicopter analogy, so there’s the instrument panel and levers that the pilot uses to gauge what’s happening the helicopter and command it, and then there is the outside environment such as the landing pads, the power lines, other aerospace traffic, the way that different air pressures act before a helicopter flies through it and after the helicopter flies through it, wind, weather, and so forth.
So to be correct with this analogy that outside environment is the other people and their logic faculties.
If you know the parts are, and you know what the parts do, then the only thing to do at this point is to test and experiment with this stuff in other people.
LOGIC AND LOGICAL FALLACIES:
All things work off of a subject and predicate logic. Language, the universe, mental faculties, and computers all use the phenomenon of logic to do what they do.
So we look at it all as subjects and predicates. The predicate is the part of the sentence that describes the subject of the sentence. If there is no subject and predicate correlation in a sentence, it makes no sense. It’s just garble or word salad. But sometimes there can be a subject and predicate in a sentence, but the predicate does not describe the subject that is being mentioned. This is called a fallacy. It may be a lie, or it may be simply a foolish or cleverly crafted fallacy. The result of these is that if the information is reacted to accordingly like a computer reacts to a bad code, then the person receiving it does something that is not practical.
So that is some back ground on this phenomenon.
What I want to take you to how this applies to our logic faculties in the hot water heater allegory.
Above you see the same diagram, and what I want you to notice now is the mentions of Subject and Predicate.
By “Logic Organs” I mean “Logic Faculties.” I apologize for the confusion.
In this version of the diagram you see that the water tank is full of a mind which consists of sensations produced by the various logic faculties or logic organs (same thing), and it is a tank of sensational information. This represents the personality or inner self within an individual.
Now hear is the same diagram with one change. Do you see the difference in the two?
The first one has the Subject and Predicate being focused inside of the tank with the entire slew of sensations and information.
The second diagram has the Subject and Predicate focused on the logic faculties (heating elements) and the sensations and information within the water tank (the personality or mind).
So now I’ll go back to the helicopter analogy. When the person goes from being a simple watcher of the helicopter to being a passenger, there is little difference, but when the person becomes a pilot, then the person is in control of the subject; the helicopter. Allegorically I mean that the person is not in control of the mind, the personality, or the whole self until the person is a pilot.
The person that is not in control but is only a passenger of oneself is who the first diagram represents. The person is only concerned with the subjects that the logic faculties present, and the person is only concerned with the predicates about those subjects. This person is controlled by what is in the tank so to speak, and not in control of what may or may not enter the tank so to speak.
The person that knows what the subject is which is the inner self, and understands that the inner self is all of the experiences and understandings one is having and has always had which emanates from the logic faculties. The person knows that the subject is not what is in the water tank, but that the predicates are in the water tank (mind).
The second person realizes that keeping an eye on the real subject which is the logic faculties is how to become a pilot of the inner self rather than a mere passenger or watcher of the self as the these brain things just do whatever they want to with the person.
BOTTOM LINE:
Make the subject of the logic that you are built with and function with the logic faculties or sensation faculties (same thing), and make the predicates everything that you experience. What information goes into the logic faculties is logically processed, and then it shows up in your sensations. It’s the same thing over and over.
Subject: Logic Faculties - information goes in
Predicate: Sensations - after information is processes by brain logic system, sensation is emitted
That’s as simple as I can put it.
