Essay about soul
Ancient
represented soul as the special vital force living in man's body and leaving
him during a dream or death.
Modern materialists
reject the fact of soul existence, proving it by the fact that at the moment of
death no objects flying off the man's body are observed, his weight does not change, and anatomic
research of a body does not reveal any material attributes indicating sole
existence.
The idealistic
theories, on the contrary, give the basic value to the soul doctrine and
determine soul as an immortal and spiritual (non-material) part of the man.
The dispute on
existence of soul receives the decision If we examine this phenomenon from the
point of view of the information theory, the dispute about existence of soul
will receive its solution.
Let's imagine
that the alive reasonable essence is connection of the biological robot-body
and any, quite real-life program, which arises in the biological computer of
this body-brain and manages this body, then man's soul is the biocomputer
program.
The soul as the
biocomputer program arises in any advanced alive essence (not only the man)
during its life, and realises itself and the body, controlled by it, as a
single unit - organism, using the concept "I am". The comprehension
of itself as "I am" is a specific manner and feature of such
programs, which allows to unite in a single unit, i.e. to organise all
resources of the organism. Obviously, the comprehension of itself as "I
am" allows the biocomputer program to lower expenses of intellectual
resources directed on the decision of administrative tasks. Due to this fact,
the solution of problems on rating degree of priority and importance of the
information flows - i.e. task of arbitration is facilitated. It is proved
already, that a lot of processes in the organism are not "realised"
by some departments of a brain until they become critical for vital functions
of the organism. There are lots of examples. Blood circulation and breath,
digestion and hormone regulation, eyesight and hearing, etc. So long as the
control systems of these processes in an automatic mode are functioning
normally - they are outside the perception of some supreme departments of the
brain - outside of "I am". But, if any infringement appears, unable
to self-regulation, the solution of this task goes to considerably more
powerful system of consciousness. This natural system creates complex artificial
systems (knowledge systems, devices, mechanisms, substances etc.), located
outside organism for solution of these tasks.
It becomes
possible to make a conclusion, that the concept "I am", arising in
the biocomputer programs, is a way of generalisation of group resources,
available in each concrete biocomputer program, as a specific concept "I
am" with the purpose of decision of administrative tasks. Just because the
concept of the person as "I am" is a product of the biocomputer
program activity, it is impossible to specify concrete area in a head brain,
where this "I am" is located, and which cells of the head brain form
this "I am".
The man soul
does not appear at the moment of the organism's birth. It is forming during all
his life. The moment, when the child for the first time realises itself as the
person, as "I am", should be considered as the soul birthday. It
occurs approximately per 3-4 years. Up to this age the comprehension of itself
as a united whole arises incidentally, by flares. During gradual perfection of
managing biological resources in a human body and accumulation of certain
volume of knowledge in the brain, a qualitative transition occurs - the
"essence" begins to realise itself as a united whole "I
am". It is the moment of soul birth, moment of birth of a conceiving
reasonable essence. If the brain of an essence is capable to understand (to
perceive, to reflect) the world around him adequately under the information
from sense organs, hence, the certain copy (cast, impression) of that spatial -
temporary interval of the world can appear in it. But if the soul is the
program arising in a brain during his existence, she is an original biocomputer
copy (reflection) of the world around.
On the other
hand, the specific biocomputer copy of the world in every concrete organism
will have the certain features and depends on specific resources caused by
multimillion history of the organism, his evolution and heredity. The soul of
the man is based on extremely large volume of the information about the past.
It is possible to say, that the man's soul is "written" on an
information canvas of history of his planet, biological kind, history of his
civilization, history of his nation, state, family and his life. It is very
probable, that this circumstance defines an opportunity of intuitive or
inherent knowledge.
At the same
time, biocomputer programs are the information, not passive, but active. The
active information influences herself and
the world, around her, i.e. it is the information with retrospective connection and communication with active
tools, which influence the world around.
Such
information keeps and accumulates the passive information about the past (about
the history) and generates the information at each current moment of time. The
active information co-operating with an environment with the help of sense
organs and body limbs, is capable to
create and to accumulate the new information about the future on the basis of
received information, i.e. to predict or to foresee a probable course of events
and actions. So, for example, we know, that the Earth will rotate around of the
Sun many thousands years. And this forecast, as the information about the
future, is based on the information from the past: the Earth already rotated
around of the Sun some billions years. It is possible to argue that nobody can
know the exact future and always there can be something unusual. But it only
confirms the fact of an opportunity of the forecast with impossibility of
absolute knowledge and confirms impossibility of absolute law.
It is probable,
that a brain and its biocomputer program, just like parallel neurocomputers
with self-developing programs, work on identical or very similar principles.
Their action
principles are identical. Simultaneously they are original displays of our
physical world construction.
Information
objects and the structures of consciousness (soul) form information space of a
brain, which can be considered as analogue of imaginary physical space,
creating quantum objects of the valid space. At the same time cells of a brain,
form his material valid structure (or valid space), that is not only similarly
to valid physical space, but also is his component. We realise the time as
changes in soul objects and body. The programs, making self-change (i.e.
self-training) on the basis of controlled objects interaction with the world
around, are to some extent similar to processes of space objects interaction,
which start the time. Nothing take place in the computer without a programme,
as well as the space can not be formed without co-operating objects. The
program without the computer, can not exist in active state, as well as the
time can not arise if there are no objects of interaction, forming common space
of interactions. Without the computer the program can exist only as a passive
image, for example, in script Informational System, associatively connected
with computer system of interaction, i.e. as listing sign symbols on a sheet of
paper. In this case associative carrier can be considered as the stopped
computer - i.e. computer with operation time equal to infinity in limiting case. It is known, that any weight can
proceed in energy, and energy in weight. The cases of birth of elementary
particles in vacuum were experimentally observed at high-energy interaction of
elementary objects. Hence, weight can be formed not only of energy, but also
from physical vacuum, which under certain conditions can become the carrier of
the information and will show itself as a material body.
The influence of
the information on vacuum results in its change and formation of material
objects as elementary particles and fields. Thus the quite real matter is
formed. Probably, the expansion of the universe is derivated by processes of
generation of space elements at the expense of active information functioning.
The active information, generating the new information about the future, forms
this future. The information about its own future determines today's behaviour
of the people, so, forms their present and future and destiny. But
consciousness generates information about the future on the basis of the
information from the past. Hence, known saying " the Life defines
consciousness " is not complete. The interaction of life and consciousness
is described by playful algorithm: "Step 1. The consciousness determines
life. Step 2. The life determines consciousness. Step 3. Pass to step 1 and all
to repeat ".
Active
information really transforms the material world. The daily life proves it.
People (and their active information), armed with knowledge about properties
and not absolute laws of the world, around them, (we call them "laws of a
nature"), transform it each day, create new, more and more difficult
systems and structures, which help them to increase the power. In a limiting
case the transformation of matter is her generation from the new information.
If the new
information arises in structures of man's brain, the structures of his body and
instruments of work are most powerful amplifiers of this information. They can
be called the powerful elements of structures, in which an idea (or
information) materialise actually. They allow the man to speed up realisation
or materialisation of the ideas, orientated on the solving of essential
problems.
The soul of
each man influences the world by its ideas. If to compare structure of our
world to a tree, which is formed by incorporating branches of numerous
co-operating information systems, the souls of the people can be presented as
leaves, growing on this tree. The man's idea, as a product of soul activity, is
an analogue of a molecule of nutritious substance. In this structure it is
possible to look after, as, having arisen in information structure of a man's
brain and moving on branches of various information systems, incorporating with
ideas and work of other people, uniting the information contained in structure
of chemical substances and quantum objects, the ideas, as a product of soul
activity, materialise as some element of a grandiose tree of the world and
change it. The good ideas change the world to best, and bad spoil its harmony.
The idea
(information), born in a head of one man, just like a drop of water which has
got to streamlet, passing from above downwards on various, incorporating
elements of structures of co-operating information systems, is repeatedly
transformed and amplified at the expense of connection and association around
itself of other, necessary information, and, at the end, forms material object.
Influence of
the information on a society is similarly to growth of an avalanche. Not every
snow ball is capable to cause growth of an avalanche. The state of environment
and potential value of idea have a great importance.
If the idea is
progressive and duly, and the people understand and realise its value,
"the snow ball" of this idea will start moving, and millions of snow-flakes of people's works
will join it. In result the purposeful movement of community is formed, and the
idea obtains real power, capable to direct movement of society to development
and prosperity.
If the idea has
necessary value, but the society does not know about this idea, there will be
nobody to join this " snow ball ". It will not be dumped from top.
And the valuable idea will be forgotten for some time, while it will be found
out and dumped from tops of knowledge to the people.
If the idea has
no value, or is stated so, that the society does not understand the idea, it
means, that such idea does not have its own potential energy, and the
"snow ball" lays in deep gorge". "The snow ball" will lay on a place and soon will be
buried under layer of new knowledge.
The society will find the new idea, and still it is not known, whether the new
idea will be better then the previous.
The hypothesis
is known, that the idea of the man, defines his destiny. If the man has gloomy
and envy ideas, if he considers himself as a loser, so it is a truth. It means,
that the man will have sad destiny of
envious loser and gloomy idiot.
And on the
contrary, if the man considers himself as talented, successful, vigorous
person, so he will be. It means, that he will be successful and clever, and
rich. And if he is clever, rich and
successful, it means, that he was born under a happy star and will be
happy.
I am deeply
convinced of correctness of this idea. There is no need to prove it. I'd like
to offer the reader to check up a fidelity of this statement in practice. If
you have noticed something gloomy and
bad in your soul, you should change your mentality immediately. Let's have only
good thoughts and delete bad intentions from your head, and work much for your
pleasure and benefit of the other people. And you will be lucky, the life will
give you a smile.
