Silence: the automatic gain control of being human

Philosophy Forums Religion and Spirituality

The human body is an instrument of vibrating frequencies of emotional magnitudes.
Receiving and sending information creates the brilliance that is cherished and known as the human experience.
Being active generates the energy and interactions which excite these emotional vibrations.
To maintain a closer level to the signal mean of the experience of being human that is not overpowered with a noise of scattered and disordered emotions, the amount of signal interaction can be reduced temporarily.

A metal pole that is a man’s height long and two fingers in diameter can be racketed upon a surface and with each strike it will increase in the amplitude deviation from the extended line of the wielder’s arm.
To bring the pole back to closer range with the extended line of the wielder’s arm, the pole must be racketed less upon the surface.

If the extended line of the wielder’s arm is represented by the value of three feet from the ground and the greatest height of the pole bent is five feet from the ground, then the amount of reverberation to the amount of actual movement of the arm’s position is a bit more than one and half feet.

With each successive pause from racketing the pole, an equal ratio of reverberating force still in the pole will be expended back across the pole without taking in further energy.

Eventually, the pole becomes closer to the three foot range and the wielder may once again specifically designate where to position the pole more exactly at the extended line from his arm.

Silence is a pause in which we gain the opportunity to reflect the energy of what we have experienced back upon ourselves so to expend the reverberations that we have created within our body from racketing ourselves through the experience of living as a human being, so that we can regain a greater nearness to our mean that is our heart of intention in specifically moving ourselves to our aims in the swinging of life.

However, the purpose of the metal pole is to be racketed upon the surface, so refraining from racketing indefinitely is to not use the pole for its functional use.

To accomplish a racketing that is controlled and yet still actively experienced in function, a frequency of interaction and refrain can be employed.
A pattern in a wave of repetition and rest can be used, a rhythm.

Unto like music and unto like that of breathing, life can be racketed upon even vigorously.
All that is required is an equally repeated accommodating rest to allow for the reverberating energy of living to expend itself through our bodies more thoroughly.

The ebb of living is silence.
And in giving to ourselves this ebb, we can continue to return the energy to the flow of our lives in directed and momentous related volume.

And silence to emptiness, to the primary state [or statelessness] of reality. Everything else is noise.

And then one religion derives god, another nirvana!

Nirvana seams to be the natural compliment to silence/emptiness but does not yield purpose to the noise, the inner voice being the first pronunciation thereof.

So we have a whisper [hardly noise] and its an essentiality betwixt one and the other, statelessness and state, silence and noise, emptiness and fullness/form.

Like the holder of the pendulum, there is surely a medium or otherwise a duality.

Don’t forget the signal; living.
To send and receive information, you must create a signal.
To create a signal, you must generate amplitude.
In generating an amplitude, a given amount of noise will be the byproduct of the amplitude.
The modulator to the amplitude when it is too great of an amplitude, and thereby generating too much noise in the system, is an impedance to dampen the amplitude until the noise is brought back down within range so that the signal is discernible and translatable again: an automatic gain control enacted to dampen too much amplitude.

Everything but the dampener isn’t necessarily noise; it is that living causes a byproduct of noise.

Now, if, you hold the metal pipe perfectly still long enough then its own signal will reduce dramatically to the point that it is no longer discernible or translatable.
However, in exchange, what will begin is that the pipe will ever so subtly begin to vibrate an amplitude of its environment naturally.
We can, at great expense, still ourselves to the point where our body’s amplitude of living is so little that the amplitude of our environment becomes the equal share of amplitude generation in our body.
We can even do this in couple or on mass with multiple people and create an entrainment of frequencies since all are, in the ever most patient of cases, marking their phase of frequency from the environment in which they remain still within their own self motion.

In this last case; this is where one can perceive that there is silence and there is noise, as that is the pursuit desired in this specific case: to reduce ones own amplitude to the furthest extent possible so to reverberate the amplitude of the environmental signal itself.

But in nominal living, such is not the case.
In nominal living, practical living of social context, living is the signal that the amplitude is created for.
Signal, noise, impedance.
Living, confusion, silence.

Our current uses our body as the medium, indeed.

To the rest, indeed!

that’s an interesting way to see it all, I never really looked at it that way, though I suppose transience Vs emptiness is similar.

The analogy aside, does info need a signal? I see it as the most direct thing there is; info > hologram [manifestation of], it only needs a signal in let us say, the third party, where one manifest thing needs to communicate parallel [in the world of objects] with another rather than directly.

Signal simply means movement.
If you want to transfer information at all, then you need movement.

It is like asking if a wave needs a current. There isn’t really a separation between the two. They are only terms which allow us to specifically address one aspect of the same thing uniquely.

I agree - at least if we first consider info to be a physical thing, and hence then needing a medium to move from a-b or jump from object a-b.

But we’ve been there before so I’ll just accept your position until we go there again.

Just one thing; you believe in god, right, so does his word [info] require a signal? …prior to physical things existing?

Bypass the medium of consciousness.
What is audio through the air. It is that medium that is that signal that you pick up.
How does your arm begin to move? You need transfer of energy through your body; that information must move in tandem.
When someone threatens your children, that emotional reaction must exchange in tandem push through your body.
That is all we are speaking of with the concept of signal.
It is what neurology measures.

I’m not discussing the imaginings of consciousness.

I don’t believe in gods, but more appropriately; I don’t care if gods exist.
If I were to guess at that answer, then logically yes.
If there were a god of some kind then there would be at least one, and quite likely many more if they were to be any complex organism or force at all, signal of form in whatever that god did before our existence existed.

Ok, so we have a voice from silence and nothing in-between?

I’d assume that voice can derive from anywhere ~ as we can hear it from any location.
{Do all locations contain signals?}.
As such does that not involve a possible direct communication? After all if one can take any location from then any location to, then there need not be a derivative signal from a-b when both locations can be right next to one another or even exist at the same location?

Signal is an annotation of motion.
Everything has motion.
That’s all I was pointing out.

I don’t even understand what this means…

Ok

Silence is the source of the inner voice, + I associated that with emptiness, hence that ‘space’ would be omnipresent. No matter as here you’re thinking of silence as something like a balancing factor ~ or gain control.

Yes, keep in mind that I’m referring primarily to modular control of bodily, neurological, and psychological stress upon the body due to emotional input and output that arrives as consequence of simply living as a human.

Thought and reflection can easily still exist in silence.
In fact, that was more or less the point of bringing it up as a reflection of the vibrations back through ourselves more thoroughly.

Even with the concept of the space idea.
How does volume work? By balancing the share of space to matter.
We cannot continue to place more and more matter in the same volume of space endlessly or we risk an explosion.
At some point we have to cease taking in matter and allow for what matter we have in our volume to dissipate through our volume more thoroughly before we can take in more matter effectively.
