COSMOS, LIFE, MATTER AND SPIRIT

<●> Feelings and sentiments are manners of influencing of the biological stability which are translated as certainty or as uncertainty. When a living body is influenced by ways that do not destabilize it (in agreement with it) and do not disrupt the synchronization of its parts, then this living body is pleased and confirmed by these ways. On the other hand, when a living body is affected by ways that destabilize it (they disagree with self-regulat­ing body) and the synchronization in the association and the cooperation of its parts is disturbed, then this living body experiences an uncertainty about itself and is displeased (the so-called instinct of self-preservation).

External influences could not mean anything if something did not exist beforehand, which had a direct meaning and information for itself. The so-called "inner world" or soul is always a sense / knowledge of itself. Which word exactly can denote this phenomenon of a body that has information about itself is an issue for a separate book. Do not miss the connection of phenomena due to a word. Perception through the senses is an understand­ing through other things and external causes. The simplest perception, the first common trait, which an intellect detects, is the stability and uniformity which is felt as hardness, consistency, texture, heat and so on. The reason of all immediate certainty is that a perception is itself an understanding (as it is created indirectly by the other things), and serves in action as if it were suf­ficient knowledge (utilizing momentary and occasionally the information). The soul and feelings are there, before even we humans think and form knowledge and experience. This priority must not trigger the fallacy that feelings are separate from the intellect, that they precede any thought or in­tellectual assessment, that they are not connected with some knowledge, and ultimately that the soul can exist without any form of knowledge and more broadly without intellectual functions. The process of removing information and preserving the characteristics of things is obviously an intellectual pro­cess of humans. When we think and use the language we can be aware of this spiritual process. However, the intellectual process does not only occur in the form of divided abstract concepts in words and symbols. All living bodies

behave by selecting information

and remove a multitude of effects without being aware (unconsciously),

focus their attention in a manner they assess for their survival,

and keep in their memory certain fixed traits of the perceptible things.

The intellect acts in itself by focusing its attention, and with the help of language it can retain experience (memories and thoughts). With sustained experience and knowledge of external things, one forms opinions, makes valuations and observations, reacts emotionally, that is, one can think and thus regulate his own actions. So mentally, without things being present in the senses or without they exist or really affecting the biological body. When one ignores this mental self-activity, then is led to a foolish separation of emotions, desires, impulses and even the soul from cognitive activity, and imagine the difference between man and other animals larger and metaphysical.
