Everyone Has to Learn Everything

Our individual body unit begins as two half cells becoming a one cell living creature. I hope you already had this discussion with your mom and dad.

Not to get into reproductive politics; but, I have to ask, what does this one cell human expression of life know? It has a potential of becoming a 50+ trillion cell being. It is at this one cell point I have to remember the lessons of epigenetics. 

Also, this is the point to remember Dr. Einstein again, " It is not the particle that governs the field. It is the field that governs the particle." The environment instructs the cell. The cell is a machine that responds to the environment. No one is in there, whether it’s one cell or 50 trillion cells.

The Childhood Macrostate chart from the last post makes one thing very clear. It is difficult to talk about all children as a single group. Children are human’s under construction. Their needs and potential for learning change so very drastically from one phase of development to another. At each step, the environment instructs the now huge community of cells, how best to fulfill its biological potential to survive another moment, another day, another generation.   

The next line I would have added to that chart, if there had been room, would have been communication. One of the lines of thought my research focuses on is the correlation between the other lines on the chart and the development of communication capability and then capability to use that capacity.   

In earlier posts I discuss how the act of composing now takes no less than ½ second to consciously manifest. This capacity manifests about age seven, capability begins to develop thereafter. Up to age seven is only non-consciousness. Non-conscious self is a record/playback (R/P) device. Around age seven, with the advent of Alpha state brain waves (8 to 13 Hz) conscious self begins to develop. This means we learn to use the innate ½ second delay in processing new stimuli with previous experience that creates a meaningful message perceived as now.  There is enough time to observe said potential event or continuum and decide to stop it from being expressed. This is the power of veto.

So, there’s the record/playback (R/P) self and there is the conscious observer self. This observer is born in each of us around seven years of age.  Observer is only conscious of, at best, 50 bits per second of information flow with which to wield veto power over every action. The observer must have high confidence that the information was well sorted and prioritized by non-conscious self when deselecting what not to include in its “Now Show.” Our being is fully functioning by age 7, but not fully grown when consciousness begins to come “online.”

The next to the last line of the Childhood Macrostate chart shows the average turning point when conscious self begins to be expressed. It also indicates that conscious self has no more than 5% control over the total expression of the beings here/now. We can’t consciously cause an action directly, only veto a potential action. The process of initiating action occurs in a non-conscious way. This is a profound fact and tool.

So, that means some 95% of the time, control is the non-conscious R/P machine itself. This part of self is like a motion sensor device. Such a device is not sensitive to everything. Its designer selects a quality of environment to which it will be sensitive and focus. When that environment occurs, BAM! The programmed response occurs. The sensor is stimulated and a process ensues to enact the programmed response to that environmental demand. A signal is then generated to cause action. It is that signal we have the option to interrupt with our veto. Can you imagine how this might change things if everyone knew this? Herein, is the "holy grail" of teaching.

Everyone has to learn everything.
