On the Existence of Cognition

If there be a thing that is cognitive, in which case I merely mean that that word is seen in many places and widely known, then I would assert that there be two objects that exist from which cognition can be manifested. These two objects are the Personal and the Logical.

The Personal is a manifestation created by physical objects, viz. matter/energy. It is an object that evolved over extended periods of time. For we are something large which was spawned by something small. The core of the developed human is the brain. The brain has various functions, generally speaking the brain organizes information. The result of organized information is Logic.

This piece of information is obtained by the utilization of Logic. Logic is an affirmation of information. The universe is mere information organized in a particular way at any given moment. Humans, being a spontaneity in the universe, and not the universe itself, may never possess the minute knowledge of the Summa Genera. However, one need not know the whole Summa Genera, but only knowledge that is complimentary to one’s own conditions. Logic is the highest point of which this information can go, granted one has information and can communicate it to others.

The brain is not created to know everything in the universe. It is a mechanical object found in a body. The body is spawned by the universe, and the cause of the brain; for all living creatures have bodies, but not all have brains, or at least only humans have high cognitive functionality. Cognitive abilities only allow for a glimpse at the Summa Genera. One must consider ones own limitations when utilizing Logic, for that may become a required response.

On the Mind

“Mind” is that which we consider the model of our world. Many people will describe this in various was. The few manners in which I have heard it described as is; that point from which we observer the world, the self, the ego, me/I, the spirit/soul, consciousness, awareness, life, human, and many other phases. For me, it is an action, or performance, or feeling, or reaction of some kind. It is something i do, something i have or am given or perceive, or know about. It has shown me many things, of which i think about, or contemplate, or make judgments about. That of which i judge or contemplate is the world, the universe, I/me, or God. What then is the problem? If one considers it all one thing, then one need not fall into disputes.

The problem may then be what ought we to do with it? These sets of mechanics, which are used to create, manifest, or actualize certain events, are what we utilized when forming our world model. Each model has its own particular explanation, but one is sufficient enough to continue. Conflict will always occur in the various descriptions of how mind is used exactly; whether it is physical phenomena, chemical reactions, biological manifestations, or psychological entities. And if God be the source of my power, then it only could control, or generate my movements and actions. The question still remains what ought we to do?

Regardless what we are there is a quantitative state to this existence we call the Mind. At the very least there is one thing, or nothing. But, frequently, there is more than one thing, i.e. something else is involved in the manifestation of the Mind. What ought we to do with the mind could depend on a multitude of objects. I describe it as an undeniable force from any object mentioned thus far.

I hope these arrangements of words can be of some practical use, though much contradiction exist amongst them. More or less could be said of this. One could understand the basic idea; the argument would be on particulars beyond this theoretical position.
