Home for consciousness

Ольга Лозовая
Logic, language, and intelligence is a natural continuation of the environment. Most likely singing and oral speech have appeared from the of imitation the sounds of wind, rain, failing bubbles, hissing fire... All images, characters have the same origin. Growth and decay, life and death, light and dark, top and bottom - all of these  are a firm basis on which we have build our logic. If at least one of these blocks  disappears, the mind will no longer work. The mind simulates the environment and reflects a means of survival, which people have chosen. Any idea that comes to mind is a small house, in which there are walls - the specified conditions, the floor and ceiling – the frames of the real and the not real, the right  and the wrong.
 
Each religion or theory, system of beliefs or knowledge is a house in which it is comfortable to  stay, a refuge from the real world, in which there is no certainty, completeness, every explanation is the beginning of a new explanation. Self-assertion doesn’t give a sense of freedom and happiness, when we follow only those programs that are allowed in our beliefs of correct life. The more primitive the cage the  more  authoritative are the opinions, demands and traditions, which can neither be questioned, nor even checked against  the ordinary logic. But the home for consciousness is not necessarily just an archaic system of limits where everything is caused by rigid traditions. This house is the system of opportunities, a zone of comfort, calm, inner quietness, in which the new can be born and grow .
 
Lucid dreaming allows you to become aware of yourself in you models, to  see what kind of contexts are the basis of perception, to wake up inside the house, realize its walls, the tendency to generalize, displace and exaggerate something, recognize the blind beliefs. To be aware of yourself that is to remember the origin of the belief, to notice what contexts are unconsciously implied. All this will make your model of the world more functional and more sensible eventually.
