Short amusing 5 min TED vid on how small an atom is...

THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT CHAKRA 7 : CONSCIOUSNESS EVEN THOUGH IT STARTS OUT IN CHAKRA 1 : BODY

Watch the vid first:

Soooo…how can a bunch of things that are mostly nothing (atoms) smoosh together to make stuff…like people? How can I physically be mostly nothing and yet be something rather complex? Something that feels like an individual unit called a person that is distinctly separate from other people-units? And what is that part of the separate person-unit that wants things, like I want some chocolate? What is it that wants chocolate? And what part of the separate person-unit knows there’s a chocolate/caramel bar in the fridge and, without any effort, gets the smooshed together bits of mostly nothing to coordinate their movement so the whole mass of the separate person-unit, through a force of attraction, brings itself into direct contact with the chocolate/caramel bar. When the smooshed together bits of mostly nothing that make up the chocolate/caramel bar become assimilated into the smooshed together bits of mostly nothing that make up a separate person-unit in a particular way (via the mouth), the thing that did the wanting in the first place is pretty damn happy.

It seems that the separate person-units are set up in a way for the thing that does the wanting to experience things. Some of those experiences feel good (chocolate/caramel bar) and some experiences feel bad (stubbing toe really hard). It seems to make sense for the thing that wants to direct the smooshed together bits of mostly nothing that are called a person to purposely move towards things that feel good and away from things that feel bad as much as possible.

Why do we choose to move towards or not move away from experiences that feel bad?

Hmmmm…why the hell would we do this??

That thing that does the wanting also has moral dilemmas it contemplates. I (meaning the thing in me that wants as opposed to my body) wondered if I should eat the chocolate/caramel bar because I actually bought it to send to Hannah (kid in college). I, of course, justified it pretty easily (get her another one on the way to the post office tomorrow) and ate the c/c bar. Still, I feel a little guilty. Soooo…what’s up with guilt? Hmmmm….humans are complex in many ways. It all boils down to this question….

What the HELL is going on???
