The Human Brain as a Filter

**sshenry** · 11-02-2007

It is commonly accepted that the Brain is a filter. (http://seedmagazine.com/news/2006/07...lter_data.php).

The Thalymus is continuously filtering sensory input and sending it to the proper area of the brain to be processed. If the Thalymus is not large enough or not functioning properly, one can experience sensory overload in certain areas of the brain - this is thought to be a main characteristic of those suffering from schizophrenia
(http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...101102758.htm). If the Thalymus is stimulated directly (through some sorts of drugs and meditative practices) the filter can also be bypassed, causing one to experience "hallucinations" (things that 'don't actually exist').

Now, here is the first thought/question: If the brain is filtering the incoming data - who or what is it filtering for? Is it filtering extra senses out - or

This ad goes away when you register.

Second thought/question: Is it perhaps acting as a buffer between the physical body and the spirit that inhabits it - and which, in undiluted form, could very possibly overwhelm the body and make it useless?

Third thought/question: Perhaps schizophrenics are seeing/experiencing the true nature (unfiltered) of reality and simply have no way of integrating what they are experiencing with the "accepted" view of reality.

Ideas -thoughts- anyone?

The thalamus processes data from the heart into two catogories, coherent date and incoherent data.

When your heart is functioning in an incoherent waveform or discord these signals are not transmitted to your neocortex or higher brain.

when ur heart is in harmony it entrains the neocortex.

The hypothalamus,piturity/pineal ardenal-HPA axis always functions to keep your circadian rythmes in check, this part of the brain is always evolving but it is the reptilian part of the brain known as the brainstem.

there is evolution and devolution, physical activities change your physiological structure profoundly.

I feel the thalamus is our evolutionary threshold, when u brake this threshold you evolve. below this threshold and you devolve, building fear based patterning and reactive behaviour.

im fond of people that have labels thrown unto them..schizo,whatever case...

we get along great..as long as we can communicate

If the Thalymus is stimulated directly (through some sorts of drugs and meditative practices) the filter can also be bypassed, causing one to experience "hallucinations" (things that 'don't actually exist').

with that said..what we're living in is a mass projection..where the thalymus is allowing information TO bypass it...who is to say what someone is experiencing doesnt really exist..and yes yes yes, we all you know ..well..we know how we feel on that statement..

the human brain also records everything...
i think the human brain working as a filter, to filter through information that is appropriate for that persons desire.intention and all that. its pretty kickass..i dont hold much of an opinion on the human brain..

its got billions of light channels of information going through it at all times..

its a wonder ..but so are we ;p

I have a friend - a fellow writer, who once said the following:

"What is the difference between a schizophrenic, a psychic, and a writer?"

The answer:

A schizophrenic hears voices in his head and does what they tell him to.

A psychic hears voices in his head and 'channels' them as messages from another realm.

A writer hears voices in his head and turns them into a best-selling novel.

Perception is everything.

agreed

I feel the human brain doesnt actualy store memories.

Memories are stored in the body, the brain is the means by which one can sort through the memorys or access the memorys in the body.

**weareone** · 11-02-2007

would this mean that if my legs got amputated that id lose memories? or did i completely misinterepret what you said

body love forever

**Juice** · 11-02-2007

I forgot to mention that the aura has a connection, I will reply in more detail in a little while.

**weareone** · 11-02-2007

i look forward to it, cause i have a similar idea about memories, but im not sure if i could put it into words

**Juice** · 11-02-2007

Weareone.
I posted some information about it on another thread , here is the link.

from what I understand memories are integrated into our DNA - the so called junk DNA that scientists know nothing about so in a sense it's in our bodies yes but part of the DNA is holographic - the larger part actually (2 strands visible in the physical and the rest - 12 strands we have in total are holographic just as our aura is). The DNA is also responsible for the Aura / EMF and that is also said to contain memories but they are taken from the DNA then projected into the Aura via the heart. I could be wrong but this makes the most sense to me. I have pieced this understanding together from various info I have found trawling the the net. Another thing to think about - when a animal is in fear the DNA contracts (it's a spiral form and it expands / contracts like a spring - it's also a superconductor) this contraction closes access to certain parts of the DNA and certain memories are lost - think about when you are under fear / stress in times of study - you forget things. Memory works best when in a relaxed state - dream REM state being the most relaxed state we know. Perhaps this is where we are most capable and why we have few limitations in the dream state.

Yes I think there is some thing connected there also Bro. In that knowledge I posted on the other thread it also says.

Some forms of information about previous lives can be found on a level deeper than the cellular one; we're talking about parts of the DNA-chain that the scientists still don't know about. There are also more, and smaller, spirals, chains and strings in our bodies than that. It would be on a level smaller than quarks.

speaking of rem sleep I just had 2 rather vivid dreams during my nap time today

one of them quite horrific - so bizarre as I very rarely have dreams of this nature. Never the less here's some small details of what I dreamed of.

The first dream I was on the ocean and it seemed to be set in the past but I couldn't be certain, I had with me what seemed like a dog although it was not a dog, it was running across the water at a massive pace and I was surfing the water with a harness attached to it. There were massive waves crashing all around us but the pace that the dog was running at allowed us to skip from wave to wave. Underneath I could see dark shadows of what seems to be massive sharks - the size of whales. We were skipping along the shoreline and it was like there was a great storm. Lotsa thunder and rain and lightning. I seemed to have a telepathic communication with this dog as I could tell it where to go in my mind. Now we spend what seemed to be hours doing this and the dog was tiring and made a mistake skipping one of the waves. I crashed into the ocean but fortunately it was close to the shore. I was washed up and rescued by some locals who took me in and looked after me ..

that was the end of the first dream - I woke up after this but then went back to bed..

The second dream was rather short, it was again set at sea, I was standing at the peak of a ship - the little lookout where the mast is, waves were again crashing all around us I was getting sprayed with water even though I was standing in this lookout, eventually the ship got crushed by the waves and I managed to escape to this other ship - kinda like a pirate ship. I thanked them for rescuing me but they wanted me to pay them to take them home and I said I had no money but I would work for them until I had paid my debts. The captain looked at me with a wicked smile and agreed. The next image I got was of a line of people in what seemed to be a food hall, there was one person tied to another in a long chain of people. One man screamed out - save us, please someone save us. Then I was shown the front of the line and there was this butcher guy with blood sprayed all over him with a big hatchet. He was taking people one by one and cutting them up in front of everyone. He first took the heads off and then carved rest of the body parts up. It was horrifying. I actually saw one of the women having her head cut off and the expressions of the face changing as they lifted the head off the chopping block. The hall looked like it was an eating hall - like people were eating these people and part of what they paid for was to watch them being killed. Similar to what some resteraunts do to animals. Then I woke up ..

patryc just found this article proving that DNA determines your ability to remember past experiences.

cool good job dude

nice intuition btw

I do not suffer from Schizophrenia or any mental illness which is strongly connected to indigos - the only thing I sufered from in my life was when I was 12 I had a breakdown due to abusive events that occured to me as a child, but this cleared up when I was 14 and turned itself into eating disorders. But I am generally a naturally nervous person and kinda phobic about strange things in comparison to normal everyday people. Phobias which are not widely recognised.

However... I wished I read this before I posted a thread about loss of memories... because I think perhaps this has happened to me... memory overload of the old world and my missions etc, are overloading my brain to the point that I am forgetting ordinary everyday, day to day things... this is my theory... its possible this happened to me.

I should have read this before posting the other thread.

**psuedo-judo** · 11-04-2007

yes raven i agree and i think alot of us here experience info-overload to do with our missions. Its fun and i enjoy it, overstimulating environments also aid the plasticity of the brain so dont worry you'll be able to adapt to what ever situation you put yourself in.

But back on the subject of info-overload, i try designing systems that could generate wormholes from the vaccuum energy of space for fun and info overload occurs when you cannot intergrate many different concepts into a single theory.

Allostasis can also occur when to much info is integrated coherently. lots of information about AI could lead one to deduce an accurate theory of internet self awareness. This does not make it currently true.

maladaption occurs all over
