Book Review: What do you know? by arntz, chasse and vicente

Table of contents:

Anonim

Scientists are eagerly searching for methods, formulas and this book clearly explains quantum physics as an element to improve our lives, but we believe that the true solution is possessed by each human being, in trying to get to know each other first, improve weaknesses and find out that life is one and we must live fully.

1. Introduction

And what do you know? It is a work that will help us clear up the big and important questions that we ask ourselves every day and that we have not found any answers so far. We will also see, how distant they are, elements such as science and spirituality, as well as the similarity between the two. The contributions made by some people to science and the time where the great repercussions that paradigm shifts really begin.

Verify in this earthly life, if there are realities or visions of things that are desired, or if otherwise they never existed. The different facets that human beings must exhaust, the contributions to their lives, and the changes that must be made, trying to find the right time to make those changes, knowing that we live, in a constant struggle, where only the goals, those who believe in themselves and then in others.

The truth and the way to know if we are facing a vision, a state of unconsciousness or if otherwise it is only a mere dream, are the key elements among other topics that we will deal with later in this book ”And you what do you know ”Also the positions that as pro-active people we must face in a world of mistakes.

2- The Big Questions

In this work, the authors try to create an environment of reflection, which places us in a meditative position where we must create awareness in relation to our physical and mental state, also our occupied position in this wonderful world of the globe, is therefore Some of us have not made any kind of stop in life. Life is the blink of an eye, for this reason, we must know where we are and the role we must play in this short stay.

Human beings must understand that learning will lie in the measure that we ask questions and try to clear those questions even, when mistakes are made, it can be verified that learning and elevation as a person will really lie in not making those mistakes again.

In life, there will be space and a moment to stop, take stock of past scenarios, hence, revisions must be made that lead to continuous improvement, in fact the great characters of history spent their entire lives asking the same questions of when they were children, that is, people grow, as they continue to ask questions, "he because of things", also knowing that there are millions of questions that will not have answers or their logical explanation under the field of scientific research, but the important thing is that learning is conditioned to the type of person, we explain, what for one person is insignificant, for another it will be very important, but for everyone the moral will be to discover the degree of certainty or falsity of the questioned.

You must have a passion for things that impress us, but do not understand how it works, in this sense we have had the following concern, how to achieve the recognition of our colleagues, the esteem of our family members, and these concerns have led us to seek and We have managed to enter the doctorate at the AIU, and this desire will be cleared, and with the certainty that after completing this, there is the possibility of continuing to study.

Breaking with the paradigm means doing things in a different way that exceeds the previous one, when we settle in and say that so far everything is going well, we deprive ourselves of the feeling and the chances of improving our daily actions, only when we understand that Times are relative and the things that we have done so far have thousands of ways to be improved, only in this position will it prepare us to change from a passive and static state to an active and dynamic one.

People who have questioned the why of things have the opportunity to increase their conceptual map in this life, knowing that traveling more territories will increase their ability to solve problems that help them personally and collectively around us.

The questions will be great when they open up a range of alternatives from which we will choose the one that represents the most learning for us. The authors indicate in small paragraphs that great things are achieved when we are calm, this referring to the fact that only in calm can we meditate and take correct measures, this will imply, weighing the same situation over and over again and choosing the one that contributes more growth and benefits to our person.

3- Science and Religion: The Great Divorce

This section covers the beginnings, growth, development and stumbling blocks of science, protected by the fact that the elements that cannot be measured do not exist, and on the other hand, the church protected by elements of spirituality (faith). Science could not categorically confront the church, because at that time it represented a universal power, so we can mention people like Nicolás Copernicus, who defended the theory that the sun was the center of the Universe, luckily for him, he died in his bed of natural death, but not all the daring suffered the same fate, Giordano Bruno was accused of heretic and sentenced by the inquisition, being burned at the stake, another character was Galileo Galilei who was also accused but for having friends influential, he was only kept as a house prisoner,because of his friends in high places in government and in the church.

Other important scientists were: René Descartes and Francis Bacón, who made their contributions to the scientific field, as they applied deductive and inductive methods to carry out research, from which the famous phrase of Bacón, makes the following indication "Knowledge is power ”The author asks us a questionnaire of questions where we must make a reflection and, it is possible that we find answers in the recesses of our mind.

4- Paradigm shift

Paradigms are models accepted by all as good and valid, since they solve current situations, which in previous times could not be solved. Approximately for the 1500s, the existing model changed, because the new model evolved, revolutionized and improved the previous one, we can see this with the Newtonian paradigm where in this part, we are referred to in what you cannot measure To verify it does not exist, abandoning subjectivity and sticking to objectivity and rationality, which is where the era of great discoveries really and effectively begins.

Paradigms can also be observed personally, since people in search of improving their quality of life embark on actions that in the end and, when they pass balance, it turns out that they remain empty, this for the following examples: when a person You want to have the best shoes and you get the money to make the purchase, you will buy so many shoes that there will come a time that for reasons of quantity and time you will not be able to put on all the shoes, in one way or another, there will come a time that you will not find, the buying shoes as something motivating, so you will feel a great void which cannot be filled with the purchases of shoes.

A paradigm will be considered useful, until the new paradigm replaces it, this will happen in a course of time in which people will resist, but in the end they will have to accept it as good and valid, due to the benefits that the new paradigm will represent for them., which will be related as elements that will facilitate improvement for people, managing to raise their quality of life. The genuine paradigms should be, an entity that transforms people in order to feel the improvements, to develop in world entities and to be able to achieve their goals.

5-What is Reality?

The authors make reference in this part indicating that everything that is now real or palpable before our five senses, was first created through the idea which was later consummated. We can create reality in such a way that we can imagine or dream things that later in the future and counting on the mechanisms and technologies, it will be possible to shape that which in a way, although vague for the moment of conceiving it, if it is achieved that dream, the dreamed is equal to the present reality.

Great inventions start with dreams and ideas, which can then be verified with reality. The reality observed from different angles have something in common and, represents that only people who are capable of shaping that something visualized as a veil, a silhouette, a vision or an image, which will only become reality if and only Yes, what is dreamed is equal to what is desired and, that both things have been achieved.

The reality will be divorced from the bloodless reality as long as the imagined cannot be achieved as it was conceived in the imagination. Hence, the vast majority of people can say that they sleep awake, referring to the distance between what is actually achieved and what is expected.

It can be affirmed without a doubt to be mistaken that the crystals with which we perceive, cannot be observed as black or white, neither the gray ones but rather that there is a range of colors that depending on the person, would have as many variations as angles of observations that let's use to see things.

6- View and Perception

Through the use of the five senses, people can make conjectures about what surrounds us, since the brain is formed in a way, which is considered, the center of the operations of the rest of our body, the authors also state that yes in the brain has damaged any of this part, what it assumes is that this part does not exist, due to this, because it does not work correctly as for the purpose it was designed for.

Perception acts according to previously stored information and the results will be different for people, since two people with the same academic and work experience facing the same problem will make different decisions, this due to the conceptual part filed in the brain. When the brain cannot encode an event or relate it to another similar one, it is simply understood, as it was an imagination, but it is really that the necessary information is not possessed to be able to shape that event.

Emotions have always been latent in living beings, so they serve as a defense mechanism, for this we will put the following example: a person is in the jungle and, hears the roar of a lion, at this moment he feels fear, the which is categorized as a negative emotion which is good for the person, as this represents an alert to defend himself from the beast that can attack him, also the field of business when the price is very high the consumer must defend himself from the seller achieving with this make better purchases.

Human beings live immersed in a world where, which will always be different from others, is therefore that the world is relative depending on the situation in which we develop, also our perception of everything that surrounds us and, that world it changes as long as we make an effort to see beyond the nose, which by the way is very close to the sight of our eyes, but which for the vast majority of us is as if it does not exist.

This world, the one we have created, there are many things that are not real and that are like a trail of light that passes without us noticing what is really happening, because we can take as an example the situation of some successful entrepreneurs who end their journey as living beings of this planet, when passing balance they realize that they lived in an unreal world and that they did not take advantage of reality, this reality was related to their family, their friends and most importantly with themselves, because they did not live their life and they only lived for others, which would be the same if they lived in an imaginary world.

7- Quantum Physics

When talking about quantum physics, it is a bit complex because it represents entering another dimension, which until now was unknown to us, because even physics specialists have been fascinated and doubtful of how profound it is to interpret things that in times past It could not be explained because they did not have the knowledge and technologies to express this quantum theory.

Starting from realities such as that classical physics was deterministic while this other physics is probabilistic, in this sense scientists are in a verification phase because, there are theorems that seen from the angle of what could be considered logical, we can To affirm that he is right, moreover, not having in our hands the way to verify those situations posed by these scientists, what we can advance is that scientists have advanced but that we must wait decades or centuries for these approaches to be verified.

Science, in its quest to explain the inexplicable, in some situations makes proposals that arise from what we could consider as logical for our understanding, it remains for us to wait for their investigations to continue, leaving the unknown whether what they have raised is really logical or whether otherwise, other approaches must be made, not forgetting that they emerge as new paradigms that if not accepted by the community will pass as simple erratic trials.

8- Observer

Researchers such as Copenhagen, in their studies, came to the conclusion that when observing and performing measurement processes, the results of these measurements are closely related to the person who performs the measurement, stating that the researcher is not a neutral entity, but more well, it has an active participation.

The Copenhagen assumptions have since then kept other scientists in doubt, who like Einstein maintained their total disagreement, stating that the mind was intrinsic to the problem. What we must understand is that we do not change the objects under analysis, what we can change is the way of observing things, being the fundamental perception in this process.

People must make reflections on our daily lives because, in this process, we could channel ourselves through better ways of learning. The researchers suggest that all observations can be considered quantum measurements, because they all have their origins in the brain.

In this context, observation represents a dilemma that is being discussed around whether the people who observe are influential in the study under control or if on the contrary they do not have any influence, we believe that this will really depend on the type of person who is observing and the situation to observe, it is very difficult for people to find ourselves in a scenario and, in one way or another, we do not try to make the investigated remain exempt from our guidelines.

9- Consciousness

Herbert when defining the word "Consciousness" simply stated that this is the most difficult problem. Consciousness is a fundamental element for all the activities we do on a daily basis. The author indicates, what will be the reasons, why, if this is so fundamental, because a stop is not made to start studying it, he also gives as an example that a person may be looking for his glasses to look, not detecting that he is on top from their noses, that is to say, we search the exterior many times, without first stopping at the essential part that the interior part represents.

In this sense, our author makes the proposition of "if the chicken or the egg" which was the first and, as this answer so far cannot be explained with luxury of details, the scientists simply put them aside or make the A blind eye, that is, they do not understand why they must enter a world, which until now is unknown to them. All human beings, in their lives there is an episode that cannot be understood and therefore they do not find any explanation and in the end they will choose, to express the following, that is the product of consciousness.

There are also facts that surround the behavior of human beings, which relates us to past experiences in other past lives, enables them to visualize future actions that will happen and there is no explanation, miracles that occurred, prophetic dreams and so many more, where We cannot leave aside the possibility that these they have a great meaning of what we consider as consciousness.

10- Mind over Matter

The scientific method and its application which has been accepted by the globality of people for the results, which affirm or deny a particular question investigated, as we know in the scientific method there is no room for doubt because it gives us the alternative of If a situation or statement, after being subjected to scientific rigor, the truth or falsity of that statement must underlie.

Researchers such as Dean Radin, who have exhausted several studies and, who have fought without fainting so that the scientific community accepts as good and valid the acceptance of the '' mind on the matter '', but unfortunately until now, the attempts have been failed. After observing several experiments we can face that people really have a framework that is the structural part of our body, not forgetting that the mind represents the center of operations of our body, but that it is the mind that really drives each and every one. of those operations.

11- Consciousness creates Reality

Taking as a reference everything read up to this moment, it can be gestured that reality is really a consequence of conscience, hence sometimes we are branded as people without any kind of conscience, making the statement that we are not worthy people of a behavior accepted by everyone around us. Our author affirms that everything we think or do and everything programmed by us affects the universe, but all of us who make up this universe do not care about anything, because we are immersed in our world.

When it is stated that attitude is everything, it is referring to the fact that everything begins with a positive attitude in individuals and regardless of where we are, although a culture acts in one way and the others in another way, as the author sets the example for us from studies conducted at Harvard University by researchers Ellen Larger and Rebecca Levy, where they compared the memories in different cultures of where Americans suffer from memory loss in the elderly, while Chinese maintain a memory as good as In any young person, even the French, with their cigarettes and high consumption of fat, sugars and wines, remain with ages of longevity and, this is where the question arises, how they have achieved it and, the only reason will lie in the phrase “it is only question of attitude ”.

All the acts that we perform in life will depend to a great extent on the glass with which we see things, no matter how difficult the situation is, if the attitude is positive, the results in the end will be positive because, it is a mathematical result from which positive more Positive must be positive and there is no other way to expect negative elements, everything will be in our mental map, which we have imagined and, we have set in motion through action, regardless of the types of cultures, we only have the following alternatives, happiness, success and victory.

12- I create my Reality

We are the builders, architects of our lives, as we decide which of so many paths to choose, from where a path, even though it is not the truly correct one, will have the option of changing course. Life, is in part, everything that one raises and wishes with fervor, however there are hidden elements that are also part of us, which we do not want to emerge because they are bad and they hurt us.

When something negative happens, it is possible that we attribute this to life, affirming that it has been cruel to us, the positive of this situation is that we achieve mercy, the cooperation of others, but the negative then will be the affirmation, that you He is not responsible and guide for your life.

People are often blaming the circumstances for the mistakes made and for not assuming their responsibilities, what we must do is have purposes and wait for the right moment for their achievements, and if it is not presented to them, they do them, creating the environment, that is having the gift of accomplishment. In order to achieve our dreams, we must design the next day every day, assuming that every minute we breathe is a divine gift that will allow us to enjoy the most sacred things we have in life, from where we must try to make sense of it, but everything It will be a question of attitude, assuming our role with dignity and respect.

13- Why are we not magicians

Life, in fact, is a magic, because our body is created in such a way that in the eyes of any specialist of the human body, it is conceived as a perfect structure, however, everything is conceived so that everything that happens around us have your explanations. Everything we do will come out with optimal results, if we really believe in what we are forming, we put an example to show this case, it was the case of Jesus, when walking on water, resulting as a moral that the faith of the people It is the result of the achievement of the objectives, Jesus also always asked at the time of performing the healings, do you have faith that he will be cured, if so, he expressed “your faith has healed you”.

Everything related to the past must be changed, in such a way that people are convinced of what you are postulating or asserting, it is to have the ability to convince others, but to achieve this we must learn from people with more knowledge and wisdom, radiating and projecting this light to others. We must always keep in mind to always look inward, not outward, with this we manage not to bear in mind the negative elements that can affect us and harm us.

14- Brain

The human brain has the ability to do millions of things at the same time, and no, we realize how wonderful the brain we have is, the following statements should be mentioned that support the extraordinaryness of the brain:

  1. The brain is at least a thousand times faster than the world's supercomputer. The brain contains neurons like stars exist in the milky way. The number of synapses in the cerebral cortex is sixty million. A portion of the brain the size of a granite. of sand contains one hundred thousand neurons and one billion synapses. Our brain is always on, never rests. Our brain is always renewed in our lives.

The authors show that the brain learns in two basic ways, one of these is related to the file of information through the use of memory and, the more we study the same subject, the more we will be able to make fixations in the brain, but the other The most important way is that of experiences, since the experience is related to the achievements in our performance, in our daily actions, from where the brain will assimilate those situations and, where we have failed, it is in charge of taking measures that They will tell us that these bad situations should not be repeated and we should improve them.

15- Emotions

The process of emotional stimulation.

As some authors recently pointed out, there are some aspects that should not be forgotten when trying to delimit the neurobiology of emotions in humans:

  • The dominance of the right hemisphere for aspects related to the spatial dimension of the information received, locating the epicenters for this function in the posterior dorsal parietal cortex, as well as in the cingulate gyrus. The dominance of the left hemisphere for aspects related to language, being The epicenters of this function are located in the Broca and Wernicke areas The presence of a module related to the memory-emotion connection, the epicenters of which would be located in the regions of the hippocampus and in the amygdaloid complex The presence of a functional module of behavioral execution, whose epicenters would be the prefrontal lateral cortex, the orbitofrontal cortex, and the posterior parietal cortex. A module for the identification of faces and objects, with an epicenter in the temporal lateral cortex.

Within this frame of reference, the brain structures that are currently receiving the most attention in the field of recognition, evaluation and assessment of emotion have been the amygdala and the cerebral hemispheres.

Emotion implies afferents from the body, and also implies references to the body, in both cases including the participation of endocrine and visceral aspects. In this frame of reference, the right hemisphere seems to be specialized in the representation of the body, since the specific lesions of this hemisphere produce a greater loss of control over the general state of the body, than when the lesions are limited to the left hemisphere.

Schachter and Singer (1962) formulate a theory, generically called the theory of the two factors, in which they defend that activation and evaluation are essential in an emotion. Now, evaluation has to do with comparison, measurement. And that is what Schachter himself points out, who argues that it would be more pertinent to frame his approach among New-Jamesian theories, since the appreciation is made on physiological changes, on arousal.

Emotional reactions: an attempt at definition In a retrospective view of the concept of emotion, it is easy to identify dualistic traditions where they are conceived as entities located within the organism and difficult to define (Grossman, 1967) or as causal and imaginary agents of behavior (Skinner, 1981).

In general terms, conceptual development has initially consisted of proposing constructs of internal states, either of a physiological or psychological nature, up to descriptions that include environmental aspects, physiological indices and behavioral aspects of organisms.

In this sense, emotions, like any other term in the domain of the psychological (behavioral), must be expressed in reference to phenomena, first of all, of the natural domain and therefore subject to natural laws. In this sense, Spinoza's position in this regard is instructive: Most of those who have written about the affections and direction of human life, have written as if they were not natural things that follow the common laws of nature, but things that are outside of it.

According to Lang (1995), emotional reactions are the product of evolutionary development and can be characterized as motivationally tuned states of alertness and, in humans, their indicators include responses in three reactive states: a) expressive and evaluative language, b) changes physiological mediated by the autonomic and somatic systems and, c) behavioral sequelae, such as avoidance patterns and performance deficits.

Cannon has now been reactivated by other researchers, basically consisting of the configuration of specific patterns of physiological response associated with various emotional reactions.

There are also differences between negative emotions only in the directed facial action task: a) The anger, fear and sadness (facial) configurations were associated with higher increases in heart rate than the disgust configuration (which was associated with a decrease in heart rate) and, b) the configuration of anger produced a greater increase in temperature than that of fear, which produced a decrease.

The theory of emotion, mentioned above, assumes that these types of events are organized biphasically at all levels of complexity, from exteroceptive reflexes to those of a cognitive nature, in addition to the fact that their occurrence implies the activation of motivational systems either appetitive or aversive, which results in modulation on other areas of brain processing. In this way, when one of the systems dominates the other, the organism's willingness to act favors the deployment of action programs that are linked to the motivational system in question, such is the case of an aversively motivated organism, where of course, the current affective state is not pleasant, their responses to another stimulus or aversive signal will be privileged,while the responses to appetitive signals will be reduced or absent.

16-Addictions

Analyzing this part is worrying at this time, because our society, specifically that of the United States, is in a state of addiction, due to drug consumption, drugs really have their preponderant role at the time of indications to treat patients, specifically to relieve pain, but this is not the case, rather that people seeking to feel other types of emotions, which places them in other dimensions, but the results will be catastrophic, because when people choose to increase the portion of the drug, there will come a time where People fall into a vicious circle from which to get out will be extremely difficult, since the condition is so serious that the individual commits crimes, violations, ultimately being admitted to a psychiatric recovery center,but the damage is so severe that there is no way to regenerate.

17- Paradigms: The Other Side

We are faced with a situation where human beings have two paths, that of good and evil, but we must first analyze the state, where we really find ourselves and, is that we are immersed in a controversy, of what is well done and what is badly done, but it is often confusing to understand that when human beings adopt dynamism, we become people capable of making changes that will later be accepted as paradigms.

The truth is only one and, the interesting thing is to know, who has the last word "the truth" that, as we have seen in the course of this reading, elements that were previously believed to be true, such as the movement of the earth, with the passing From time we have verified that they are false, that is why in order to detect the real truth we must at least observe the consequences of that something before denying or affirming something, of course everything in our life will have the pos and the con, but when verify the genuine truth everything will be radiant with clarity.

People must accept the observations that are made to us in relation to a particular issue, not leaving aside and always keeping in mind which elements that today have little or no importance, tomorrow, it may become an emerging paradigm Remember also the example of Jesus where he affirmed that everything would lie in the faith that we have in our projects, that is, to believe first in ourselves, and then to gain the trust of others.

Specialists indicate that when establishing the relationship between spirituality Vs science, there are elements between these that are common, but that there are also elements that at the moment there is no way to make them compatible, that is, science always will be the standard bearer of the results, through measurement, while spirituality is rather related to a field where although results can be verified, wonderfully out of the ordinary, we also have the drawbacks that for the field of science this is not relevant due to lacking scientific rigor.

18- Interlacing

According to scholars, including Doctor Radin, everything related to the part of parasychology studies is not something new, since through research brains have the ability to be intertwined and as can be seen, clairvoyants can glimpse situations that can happen to people, also through telepathy communication can be carried out according to this study.

In this part the scientists affirm that this state cannot be considered as a paradigm but rather a fusion of paradigms which some call connectivity. Emoto affirms that when the 2004 Christmas tsunami occurred, when they saw the images all the spectators were placed in an empathic position, that is, they adopted a situation as if the same thing had happened to them, he explains that at that moment all of us we were in the same situation as those affected.

19- The Final Overlay

The great concern of science lies in its application of the scientific method as well as the verification of the facts, but until now there are many reasons that indicate that many times we are approaching a reality that was previously difficult to achieve, this type of rapprochement has been achieved due in part to the paradigm shift as well as the implementation of technology. The vast majority of people spend eight hours working and the rest are spent watching television, at least they feel happy because they see themselves doing activities that other people consider normal.

People's happiness will lie in the attitude of understanding that we are part of the world, that we forge every day and that nothing should take away our sleep and hope that happiness is achievable, that obstacles do not matter and that those obstacles be part of growing as a human person.

20- Conclusions

Arriving at the end of this essay, it must be affirmed; that each person is the absolute and responsible owner of their actions, having to live life with dignity and fullness. The person must dream of a very high thought, like in the clouds¨¨, but with the feet placed on the ground. It is not enough, to continue an ordinary life, because, it can be believed, that we are living and the situation that we find ourselves under a distorted optical vision may occur, that is, we live in a world that demands a standard behavior from us and, we forget to live life.

Scientists are eagerly searching for methods, formulas and this book clearly explains quantum physics as an element to improve our lives, but we believe that the true solution is possessed by each human being, in trying to get to know each other first, improve weaknesses and find out that life is one and we must live fully.

This essay involved a large number of elements that made us reflect, since they managed to arouse curiosity and reflect on the changes in direction that we must make, as well as straighten the way of thinking, this implies, make modifications, always in pursuit of our happiness.

Life is magic and we all have it, you just have to uncover the chest and we will find that life is everything and the only thing you have, too, that life is like a page in a book. That it opens one day, but should be closed not too late.
