(Part 15 D)
“We train you sixth sense then all rest of sense.”
“Sixth?”
“Yes, it make sense other five and a half.”
“Half is sense of know where body parts are. They forget count it. Now, nonsense turn to sense by 6th sense.”
“The brain and the mind?”
“Yes it be. Brain absorb, plus subconscious brain make thought from all sense in and out.”
“Sense that is inward and outward, within and without?”
“Yes, I just say so, not I.”
“Haven't you heard about the extended and glorious language enhancements that the CMBR trip has bestowed on us, endowed us with abilities to communicate more better?”
“I still study. Nature simple; not need more word. So, brain analyze all scenario of consequence through probability to give best possible result base on all one know, remember, and became.”
“The brain is a sense that senses and perceives itself?”
“That be so, but really higher brain sense lower parts.”
“I’ll be darned.”
“More like bless of spark of in-sight of third eye. I give you saying:
A sixth sense is the brain when it’s alive,
For then it makes sense of the other five,
Bypassing non-sense, and creating
The only way in this world to survive.”
“True, and nice saying, but it would seem that consciousness would be then the last to know the result of the brain’s subconscious analysis…”
“Brain give wave of perception of itself go to mind to feed back to brain for future and also present to consciousness, but one continue learning enhance whole process, so no worry of small free will. See:
Although our decisions of the instant are
Fully determined, and are therefore not free,
We may happen to learn new things, and make
Choices tomorrow that we wouldn’t make today.”
“No free will?”
“I generalize. Many thought come unwilled from all part of brain with simple agenda. For those react too soon, no free will, but some count to ten before react. If learning good, they veto thought, so not so bad as seem. Hear saying:
— The Creative Solution Space —
Let reactions sail on by—just observe them,
But don’t act on them. This puts some distance
Between you and your conditioned response,
A space which grants a modicum of free will.”
“I suppose it couldn’t work any other way, for that would border on randomness.”
“Yes, but some random when no matter.”
“As when probable choices are equal?”
“Yes, that OK. Real trouble is reactor impulsive person with no guilt, no high heart beat when do wrong, but good guy go by saying:
When extreme thoughts arrive, uninvited, as
Most thoughts do, some veto them, saying “don’t”,
For while we can never will that which does
The unconscious willing, some do have “free won’t”.
“’Free won’t’ could also from our learning, memories, and associations as well.”
“That life, but more method to try. We teach good learning.”
“Unfortunately many of the world had bad learning.”
“Yes, learning be dangerous thing; cause permanent rewire of brain.”
“True. How come your English is so perfect in all these sayings?”
“I memorize.”
“What about our everyday type involuntary reactions of anxiety and the normal crazy thoughts that we all have from time to time?”
“We teach you calm like so:
— The Drama of the Trauma —
From its safe subjective place that’s free of fear,
The “soul”, our Conscious Awareness, can witness
The strange thoughts and emotions that surface
On the mind, sent there by the subconscious brain.
Conscious Awareness, which can but witness,
Is a safe haven from which to observe
The drama of our lives playing in our minds,
Granting us a sobering distance from it.”
“It’s like watching a play on the stage of our minds, but what about emotions?”
“Somewhat same, but tomorrow study them. This all teaching for today, but I give you one more saying:
— The Weak Link —
The mind is quite weak in the fighting off
Of bad emotions; they have a direct
Pathway into mind’s awareness—inhibiting
The rational, thinking part of the brain.”
“Thank you.”
“Any other question?”
“Why didn’t you send went me west to Iowa?”
“Too easier, not as good training; only four car guard, through roads you know not, but fun ride as was, yes? Beside, now may think dead like Profpat and Graybeard. Get?”
“Yes, but no and maybe. What if the more knowledgeable FBI were in charge of the mission?”
“Hundred road to Iowa, but FBI better than CIA so be good training then.”
“Goodnight. I tired; start talk like you from hear too much you.”
“Rest good; need you make impossible picture of everything relative to big zip of nothing of no-form and no-when.”
