Meditation-Sankhya Yoga-Yoga Psychology Based on Experience

The Rishis (Sages) of the past meditated. They included both men (eg Kapila) and women (eg Gargi).
By meditate I mean concentrated focus/observation of their own psychical system.
Meditation is a systems approach.  The rishis went from the surface layers of the mind to probe into deeper levels.  The body is multicellular , including the brain (consisting of the sensory input processing system). Under normal circumstances, in a conditioned human, the physical predominates i.e data arriving from the sense organs (eyes, ears etc) .The  4 components i.e.buddhi-intellect, ahamkara-identity/individualization capacity, manas - memory bank , chitta-(awareness at the mental level)are  prakriti (psychical nature) according to sankhya psychology. The 3 attributes of sattva(balance/equilibrium/harmony),rajas (activity) and tamas (inertia) are present in various combination in each individual human. The observable universe is when the self/atman/purusha/subject/observer/ is superimposed by prakriti. During meditation, the self /atman/purusha/observer loses superimposition of  prakriti in the following manner.  When prakriti is stilled by various techniques like mantra repitition, meditative techniques of raja yoga/patanjali yoga  the observing part (subject/atman) has no more object to observe. Subject-object become one. When the atman/self/purusha/subject/observer  loses identification with the object, (distinct energy fields lose their individual vibrations=detachment in gita where kshetra=field and kshetrajna=knower of the field) the self/atman merges (unite/integrate=yoga) into the underlying unified energy field (brahman) . Thus "Tat Tvam Asi". Atman (Individual self-You-tvam) =Brahman (universal-Tat). Emergent consciousness is lost i.e vibrating energy fields is lost and equilibriated/bliss energy fields remain. This is the result of meditation.
Terminology in Advaita(Non-dual)=Atman (Individual Self/Consciousness/Awareness), Brahman (Universal Self/Pure Consciousness).
Terminology in Sankhya =Buddhi (Intellect), Ahamkara (identity), Chitta (mental awareness), Manas (memory bank), Sattva (Balance), Rajas (Activity), Tamas (Inertia).
Terminology in Gita =Kshetra (Field), Kshetragna (Knower of the Field)
Deities-Anthropomorphic representation of abstract attributes.
The various deities of "hinduism" represent various abstract mental states during subject-object split. For eg. Shiva represents destruction (Tamas), Vishnu-preservation (Sattva)-Brahma-projection/creation (Rajas) of the universe .This is because prakriti engages in creative, maintaining and destructive activities.
Four experience based paths to the above: Bhakti-Yoga(Love of Self-subject object separation followed by subject object unity), Karma -Yoga (Work /Activity based, Removing focus from fruits of activity but focusing on the activity itself, love of work and work for the sake of work and not for the gains or losses/side effects that accrues with it  ), Raja-Yoga (Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga System-involves dharana, dhyana, samadhi), Jnana-Yoga(Knower of Self/Advaita based).
Christ who experienced unity is quoted as -do unto others as you would like others to do unto yourself was a bhakta (lover of the Self). Buddha was a jnani (knowledge seeker) (meditated on the Self).
Loss of  organization  at the physical level/structure =death of the body.
Aging = loss of structure/physical organization.
"God" in "Hinduism"=Atman/Individualized Self/Awareness which merges into Universal Self/Consciousness/Brahman.
Good (Sattv-ic)/Evil (Tamas-ic)=Creative/Destructive mental energy states.
Self knowledge= Atman knowledge

Intuitive Thought-Cognitive Bias=Rational Thought

Musing-02

Think hard=Break redundancy in thought=break circuits of repititive feedback loops/circuits involved in thought. Involves Energy.

Non-self

Non-self-Different code-Different fractal pattern.

Musings:Cancer-NonSelf/Self

Cancer: A state where the immune system recognize non-self as self.

Musings-Cancers may arise by........

What if the default mode of single cells is replication and differentiation/ maturation is secondary. Depending upon the interaction of replicating cells with the microenvironment, adjacent cells release inhibitory molecules which make a replicating cell differentiate/mature. This is because competition for food resources as a whole will wipe out cells, so for survival cells divide to a certain number and differentiate, so that the tissue survives as a whole.
 In cancer the default replication of cells carrying driver mutations for tumorigenesis  is not inhibited sufficiently by the surrounding cells so uncontrolled cell proliferation occurs. It is possible that driver mutations arise all the time in cells due to replication errors, but then such cells do not survive and proliferate because inhibitory signals by  surrounding cells  impedes their survival to allow tissue/organ/host  formation to occur.
In cancer the tumor survives at the expense of a host, because the cells in the neighbouring microenvironment of the cell carrying the driver mutation are not able to give out sufficient inhibitory  signals to inhibit proliferation of cells carrying the driver mutation. One reason could be that a sufficient number of neighbouring cells lacking the driver mutation is needed to give out sufficient signal to inhibit proliferation of cells lacking the driver mutation. If cells lacking the driver mutation divide at a slower rate than cells with the driver mutation, then they will not be able to provide sufficient inhibitory signal against the cell carrying the driver mutation.

What If......................

 What if one could predict/model tumor size based on driver mutations. If a correlation could be found between size of primary tumor and metastasis-(for e.g cells will tend to leave larger tumors than smaller ones because of nutrient deprivation of cells at periphery,so they migrate to search for nutrients) then metastasis could be predicted based on driver mutation, and preliminary intervention strategies could be designed.
