COSMOS, LIFE, MATTER AND SPIRIT

2/28

<●> 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.

>>> One of the most important knowledge for any research is the principle of information in life. The principle of information in nature is the beginning of life. The first thoughts were rational and were formulated in the book: The Theology of Science (in the period 1986 - 1998):

"The external influences would not be possible to mean something unless there was something that had a direct importance. (...) The results or its influences from the effect of the external causes are the various feelings and are ways of meant to this body that is constantly with a constant self-perception and disposition. (...) The simplest perception, the first common trait (in life) is the stability of a change that in the senses is cruelty, consistency, texture and various others " (Pages 245 - 246).

"Any external influence on material -energy existence directly or indirectly affects the quality and capabilities of the inner -intellectual world. Conversely, any internal - mental change affects the quality and capabilities of material -energy existence." (p. 247) "If there is no immediate concept, then no knowledge can be taken from outside (...) That is why, in particular, we never perceive independently of the quality and capabilities of ourselves at no time ... ". (p. 248)

"Moods and capabilities of the inner world, which are still attributed to inexplicable properties, (by experts and non -experts), and are considered different in their principle and essence, their mental principle was an axiom for the philosopher Spinoza." (p. 252) "Each living part has a sensitivity and perceptions of its external things and behaves influenced by them, because sensitivity is the influence of its immediate self -observation by indirect - external effects." (p. 255) "The reason why direct intellectual activity or knowledge is not recognized as the essence of life is the limitation of the concept of knowledge to the most abstract meanings of language, while this is the language of reality ..." ( p. 259)

"They do not thank us (or displease) things exclusively, but also the possibilities we create or fulfill for ourselves and the quality of the concept we configure for ourselves with the utility of things and our relationships." (p. 350).

(Most thoughts on the closest relationship of information to life are contained in the IX part of the philosophical book under the subtitle: about mental activity and life property).
