CONTROL OF BODY AND MIND BY BRAIN


Under ideal conditions the brain controls both body and mind. There is no need for an iota of doubt.Thus, under ideal conditions all human beings behave in the same way. Since science aims at making our material world ideal, it too believes that the brain controls both body and mind. The belief perfectly suits the materialistic modern people also.


FLAWS IN THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY BRAIN


The assumption of control of body and mind by brain can't explain why,


1. A layman believes that it is his 'I'. that controls both his body and mind.

2. Religious people believe that it is god who controls both body and mind.

3. Hindus believe that 'I' and god are one and the same.

4. Human behavior is so diverse.

5. We don't have any role to play in our body and mind other than being passive spectators.

6. All human beings are not equally intelligent.


THE USER INTERFACE BETWEEN BODY AND MIND

The User Interface between our body and mind controls both body and mind. It acts as an analyzer, modifier, buffer and filter.


THE USER INTERFACE - ANATOMICALLY AND PHYSIOLOGICALLY

All the skeletal muscles of our body can isometrically contract (harden) and relax (soften) as though it is a single skeletal muscle. We can call it the Unified Skeletal Muscle.

Though the USM can't bring about movement it can facilitate or retard it. It can also give us a feeling of movement.

The USM can harden towards any point along the midline of our body. If it hardens towards our feet, the center of gravity of our body would be too low to enable movement. To enable movement, the center of gravity has to above our navel.


ROLE OF USER INTERFACE:

All signals from the brain has to pass through the UI in the USM. Under ideal conditions there is no need to interfere and therefore, the UI in the USM is bypassed.


However, under normalconditions the USM is contracted towards our nevel. This reduces the signals from the brain to 50%.


The point towards which the USM has hardened isometrically is what we call 'I'.


Thus, 'I' is our cursor using which we can move the center of gravity of our USM towards our head or feet and thus facilitate or retard what our brain is doing.

Using our cursor 'I' we can convert any thought into action or any action into a thought.


The User Interface can make our life comfortable under all conditions, without any need for change in our material world and therefore, an antagonist of science.

In fact, it is this mechanism that makes our life comfortable under all conditions without any outside assistance that we call god,

Since science turns a blind eye towards the User Interface, according to science 'I', self, god and USM don't exist.


Thus, when we say that the brain controls body and mind, it implies that it is under ideal conditions only. It should be mentioned here that the relationship among our brain, body and mind are studies under ideal conditions only.



Thus, the structure that controls the human body and mind under ideal, normal, tolerable and chaotic conditions is the Unified Skeletal Muscle, in which 'I' and god are located.


The assumption that the brain controls body and mind holds good under ideal conditions only.
