Free Will and Clusters of the Mind
Free Will & Clusters of the Mind
Stuart Wilde
As humans we live inside the clusters of our mind, neurological groupings. They feel normal, so it is very hard to see how they regiment our lives. We follow what we know and what conformity suggests for us. All the while, we congratulate ourselves pretending we are making decisions from free will.
There was a very interesting article in Der Spiegel, in Germany, a while ago, that asked do we really have free will or do we just respond from neurological impulses that come from deep within the brain?
The Der Spiegel article says that the brain is tricking the ego. Neurobiologist and philosopher Gerhard Roth claims that research on the human brain reveals that free will is merely the result of mechanisms inside the human psyche, which are not so “free”. The brain may make a final decision, but there are other components which heavily influence the decision-making process: genes, accumulated life experiences, tribal influences, as well as our primal urges, all of which are in effect the clusters I speak of. As they form memory-groupings in the mind that are pre-set by force of habit to replay exactly as before when triggered.
Similarly, all physical action by the human body is pre-empted as certain signals in the brain. So those actions, which we think are freewill are in effect the result of electrical neurological discharges that determines the up-coming action. So do we freely decide to move the body, or are we just responding to electrical signals that tell us to move?
Roth claims that our consciousness and psyche, which can now be watched in action by modern brain scanners, are in fact being built by the electrical signals of the brain. Meaning, electricity creates the reality of the “I Am” condition, which we say is the freewill of the ego. And while the ego can override certain decisions and impulses of the limbic brain, it doesn’t usually do that. It’s the clusters and feelings, hopes and fears deep within that have the last say in what action we choose.
Gerhard Roth says that free will is a construct, because it can be reconstructed. For example, the sense of liberty can be simulated in the human mind by electrically stimulating certain areas of the brain. So are we actually free or we just responding to impulses that create the sense of liberty? For in reality those electrical impulses have no idea if we are free or not. It is hard to work out what is real and what is just electricity in the brain.
I think the overall answer is we do have free will and we don’t use it very much. We naturally track along lines of action that are familiar to us no matter how destructive they are or how poorly they have performed in the past.
To untangle the clusters or memories in the body, my friends and I use what we call prayer water. It is simple to make you take a glass of clean mineral water and put your prayers of gratitude and reverence in it and you blow love into it and then drink it. We drink it to alter the resonance of the inner clusters, clearing the mind-brain mechanism to become more electrically neutral.
For some reason that I don’t completely understand, the more complex we are and the more complicated life is the sicker we tend to get. Maybe humans are really built for the simple life. Modern urban living is too electrically cluttered; it disturbs our vitality draining us and eventually our resonance tarnishes and we tend to become introverted and dark.
We have to work hard to untangling our old patterns of mind clusters that jam us up. Personal discipline is the only real way to surmount it. (The Art of the Redemption) ©Stuart Wilde 2009
