What Mind Is Like

We watch our favorite TV show, well aware that the sound and picture images are an interpretation of certain signals. The signals undergo the basic physical limitations of sight and sound. They are transmitted, moved through a medium and translated by a receiver. But what is the medium? Space? It may be that , in our galaxy, there exists intelligent beings who are just getting reception of “I Love Lucy”.
Enlighten me. Where do the radio/TV/computer images go?
If the TV analogy is correct, brains receive signals from outside themselves and, with the aid of electricity, run the signals through their structure in order to produce the sound and pictorial images. Thus, if the analogy stands, the signals of whatever exists outside the brain are interpreted to give us an accurate picture of what lies beyond the brain. In other words, the images are faithful to the signal and are not something surreal or bizarre.

I think that i can provide you something better in that context.

living orgasms are just like cellphones.

A cell phone needs three basic things to perform completely, which are its hardware, its software and a sim provided by any network provider. Remember, a phone cannot serve its actual purpose (making calling and receiving) unless you cannot insert an active sim into it.

Now, in the terms of organisms, their bodies are hardware, their conscious part of their minds are software, and their sims are their souls. It is also important to note here that just like cellphone sims, souls also comprised of both hardware and software. The subconscious minds are the softwares and consciousness is the hardware of a soul. And, just like cellphone sims, network providers (governing spiritual entities) can activate and deactivate any soul (sim) just sitting by their server. That is precisely what birth and death are.

I’m not aware of the meaning of SIMS. But I think your analogy is a good one. Do you see an individual’s understanding of reality as upheld by forces outside the human psyche? Who are the governing spiritual energies?

Yes, but metaphors, unlike similes, are not structured as well, therefore, they need a license for usage. A poetic license, a claim of the right to use the spider’s web, to express meaning to those, to whom similarly such right was granted, needs to be severely curtailed, if , and only if, such meaning would draw a total closure of even the possibility to meaning.

Until that author-ity be found, poetic liscence is assumed to be an inherent right. This gives the benefit of doubt to fledgling authors, artists, writers.
Otherwise, expression as an art becomes a fallacious reduction ad populum.

The mind prefers it that way, keeping the imitation of art the primary preoccupation of life.

[Meno2 (Meno_)]

These forces are not differentiated or liscensed by internal or external forces. They transcend them or they themselves are transcended by them.

I’m not aware of the meaning of SIMS.

Sim means subscriber identity module. It is a simple chip that network service providers provide to their customers to incert in their phones, in order to enable them to make and receive calls through that network. Some phones come with embedded and Unchangeable Sims also.

Here is wiki page of sim -

Thanks. That makes sense. Good analogy!

Can the mind accurately discover what lies in the environment? If it could not, we could not survive. IMHO, the senses accurately portray what is outside the human body. The physics definition of sound as requiring a transmission, a medium and a receiver spells out what the mind does. Environment transmits, senses are the medium, the mind is the receiver.
