For the average person, a consciousness soul link can be a strange concept. But, it has a real life existence in the nervous system. To be very practical, just now and then (say, when you feel guilty), consciousness mirrors the turmoil of the soul. These are not mystic abstractions. The incredibly subtle concepts of consciousness and soul can be better understood, when we view the nervous system as an entity, which recognizes infinitely complex patterns.
Imagine that the “soul” identifies with the prefrontal regions (PFR), the most advanced intelligence within the nervous system. You know your soul as your "inner self." It is the deepest wisdom within you. Pattern recognition enables different regions within your brain to become both independent and cooperative. The limbic system, your emotional regions, offer you many choices for action. Your PFR informs you what is best.
Their conflicting viewpoints can manage your personal experiences and behaviors. Imagine pattern recognition and understand the evolutionary logic of these systems. You will then experience the reality of your consciousness and learn to empower the deep wisdom of your soul.

How Do You Become "Aware?"
Imagine that the firing of specific nerve cells can make you consciously aware of specific sensations. When one group of those
cells fire, you feel touch; for another, you see a pixel of light.
Your awareness comes from the firing of a vast and identifiable group
of nerve cells. Billions
more fire in the nervous system, without your being conscious of
their activities. Those other neurons support millions of internal
processes, without your awareness. This very moment, while you become
aware of the significance of the words you read, you have no
awareness of the complex multi-stage process, which converted the
black pixels on this page into a meaningful concept.
Imagine a neural organ, which acts as a conductor of the inputs to consciousness. While the impulses of one hundred billion neurons power the nervous system, current research points to a single organ, the claustrum, which acts as a “conductor,” which coordinates the highest cortical levels of the system. Thoughts "emerge into subjective experience" from the combinatorial firing patterns on the claustrum screen. The
activity of this "screen" generates your conscious
awareness. Just as the
control panel of a power station grants you awareness of the
essential workings of its major subsystems, imagine the claustrum to be the screen, which creates your awareness.

When do you Become Aware?
Imagine the second component of the
consciousness soul link - the soul. Imagine the soul to be the prefrontal regions (PFR), the "ghost who watches," a material soul within your
mind. When PFR is the
soul, consciousness is its awareness. Awareness follows the
processing. The brilliant experiments of Benjamin Libet uncovered
those fleeting milliseconds of processing time, which differentiated the activities of PFR from the arrival of conscious awareness in the claustrum. He studied subjects who
voluntarily pressed a button, while noting the position of a dot on a
computer screen, which shifted its position every 43
milliseconds. The
noted moment of depressing the button was the moment of conscious
awareness; the exact instant the subject thought the button was
pressed.
Each time, Libet had also timed the beginning of motor
neuron activity in the brains of his subjects. He discovered that
awareness occurred 350 milliseconds AFTER the beginning of motor
activity. The nervous system had set in motion the motor impulses to press the button before the subject consciously thought
he made the decision and pressed the button. Conscious awareness was data about
an action already initiated from the system. Imagine a distinct difference between the mechanics of the system and conscious awareness. That time delay is the clear evidence of the existence of separate mechanisms for conscious awareness and system processes.

Who Is The Wisest Of Them All?
In
the consciousness soul link, PFR, the soul, is historically young.
There is a reason why some people suggest that animals do not have
souls. The highest human level intelligence residing in the
prefrontal regions of the human cortex appeared only after millions
of years of evolution. It is a rational subsystem with substantially
increased processing power, achieved through development of the outer
layers of the cortex. The process transformed this, the investigative
part of the animal brain, into a massive reservoir of common sense,
with a wisdom which could comprehend the wonder of the universe.
The
Consciousness Soul Link
What Is The Historic Process?
Its evolution began millions of years ago, when nerve cells linked
together to create life's early intelligences. Those simple networks
of neurons, without specialized brains, originally controlled
primeval animals through simple motor responses. Those lowly
creatures merely moved about and swallowed, or expelled food. Those
humble mechanical systems for survival developed into more advanced
circuits in the reptilian brains of snakes and birds, motivated by
the elementary pangs of hunger, anger and fear. Further developments
led to the subsystems in the mammalian brains of dogs and cats,
governed by more complex social feelings. In the consciousness soul link, the PFR, the dispassionate soul, exists at the apex of your triune brain. These control systems
compete. Being a part of this competing hierarchy of intelligences,
your calm soul, PFR, your highest intelligence, is often overwhelmed
by its primitive lower levels. At such times, you may complain "My
spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak!"
The
Consciousness Soul Link
Do the Intelligences Compete For Control?
In
the consciousness soul link, the soul, PFR, competes with lower
intelligences. Your computer has separate programs, which manage word
processing and spreadsheet computations. They are groups of codes,
located in different memory locations, which utilize the same
circuits. Similarly, imagine that your mind contains coded
memories,
which can only be contained in cubic miles of 500 page books. It
contains strategies from battles fought millions of years ago. It
contains your experiences over a lifetime. It is a network, which
accumulates knowledge and acts intelligently. It contains strategically oriented intelligences, which choose to be angry, or fearful. From its experience, it will
decide whether fear, anger, or common sense (PFR) is the best response to solve the
immediate problem. If fear takes charge, your words will be wary. If
angry, you will speak sharply. If PFR takes charge, you will become
reasonable.

Consciousness Soul Link
How Does The System Decide?
Imagine a situation, where intuitive
decisions of
neural circuits switch controls between various entities. Thus “Free
Will” will not be the will of an ethereal soul, but the decision of one
out of several control systems. As Libet discovered, the system makes
your decisions and informs you. Your action will be the output of one
of several powerful and competing intelligences. Your free will is supported by a fail safe limbic system, which protects you from making foolish decisions. Those restrictions on your free will enable you to be morally responsible, when your mind is calm. Effective mind control is all about enabling PFR, your soul, to make
your decisions.

Is It Possible To Recognize Your PFR?
Lynda
Buck discovered that when the olfactory network evaluates molecules
in the air, its outputs are signals, which identify an odor.
Similarly, the output signals of your somesthetic association region
indicate recognition of a touched object. If that region is injured,
you lose that skill. You will not be able to identify a pair of
scissors by touch, with your eyes closed. You will still feel the
scissors, but you will not know what it is. Your nervous system has
myriad such recognition regions, which enable it to perceive and
identify complex patterns of molecules as the smell of an orange, or
as former President Clinton. Just as you can identify an odor, you also know
that it is your eyes, which reads these words. In the same way, the
system can identify the “mystic” presence of PFR. Your prefrontal
network can listen to internal signals and identify PFR. An awareness
of your soul can enter your consciousness.

What Does Glen Kezwer Advice for Self Study?
With
a little effort, your consciousness can become aware of the presence
of your soul. Glen Kezwer advocated using your mind as a research lab
to study experience. "The cost to the government exchequer and
the people is nil, no research grants need be applied for, no
progress reports are necessary and there is no need to be concerned
about the renewal of funding. There is also no pressure to publish
papers, technical reports or books on the experiment." Imagine new and original viewpoints. Follow the Kezwer example. You can identify a pair of scissors by paying attention to it. So
also, your attention can identify PFR.

Consciousness Soul Link
How Do You Identify Your PFR?
You have the unique ability to question the system and receive answers. Lie
down in silent darkness and pay attention to your body. Your
kinesthetic system will inform you of the position of your body. Your
sense of touch will give you a feel of the bed. No other sensations
will be present. As you watch this silence, you will become aware of
a silent observing entity, seeking to recognize any possible sensory
input. At the highest level in the hierarchy, including your body,
thoughts and feelings, become aware that you are curious. It is
constantly evaluating received patterns to recognize their import.
That entity is PFR, which occupies your prefrontal regions as a
massive recognition system, with access to your memories, sensory and
emotional inputs and recognition messages.
Unlike simple computer programs, the PFR is an immensely wise intelligence, with its own thoughts, urges and longings. The PFR has the ability to move your muscles, or direct your attention to any part of your body. Numerous other intelligences (your fear, or anger) have the same ability. Lying in the dark, you can ask a question and receive an answer from the system. As Libet had discovered, there will be a time lag. Your awareness of the answers follows processing by the system. Your PFR functions from the prefrontal regions within your nervous system. Its existence has been inferred for centuries. Ancient cultures speak of a particular viewpoint, a level of consciousness, which defined “This is who I am.” You too can discover the PFR within you.

What Happens When You Discover Who You Are?
The
great sage J.Krishnamurthi recommended watching your mind as the
essential path to a still mind. The investigative role of PFR has a
stilling side-effect. Myriad specialized networks compete for the
attention of your mind. They recognize the impact of events to
suggest alternate patterns of behavior required to meet threats and
opportunities. Many emotions compete for control.
When
you pay attention, neural channels highlight the focus of attention
and still other activities. Being a key tool for survival,
investigaton requires an unemotional approach. So, nature further
stills emotional activity, when attention is directed to a new
stimulus. When you watch your mind, PFR takes over and the system
stills emotions. Just as emotions more often than not dominate your
behavior, PFR, your soul, can take calm control. Since emotional
signals have an urgent priority, the achievement of PFR control is
difficult.
Historically,
the Buddhists have learned to still emotions and
have practiced the skill for centuries. They describe the achievement
of a state, where the ups and downs of life appear to be as neutral
as “birds in the sky.” People don't usually think that poverty,
or sickness can feel like a "bird in the sky." Immersed in
their emotional levels, they do not experience this view. But, the
Buddhist description reflects the special state of mind of an PFR
level of consciousness. When the amygdala, a lower animal
intelligence, takes charge, you are blinded by an
angry level of consciousness. Only when the system is controlled by
the PFR level of consciousness do you experience a calm common sense
view of the world. If you are troubled by anger, or despair, discover
"who I am," and truly know yourself. It is this
understanding, which leads to peace of mind.
The
Consciousness Soul Link
What Is Your Best Option?
Let
your soul guide you. Across millions of years of history, nature
largely mechanized your responses to situations; to caress gently
with love, or to strike hard in anger. The ability of the system to
categorize events and behavior with precise subtlety is its ultimate
achievement. But a large residue of irrational impulses remain as a
left over from past ages. Hope lies in stilling those absurd urges of
the mind. When your mind becomes still, with PFR in control, your
behavior follows a more rational path. The actions you take will be
the best you can to achieve your goals.
But, your soul is much more
than your PFR. Nature has already created a potential for the best in
humans through positive emotions. Nature is not a cold, calculating
evolutionary process, but one, which has evolved concepts, setting
the highest principles attainable by humans. When your PFR accepts
the nobler emotions, you will not be a cold participant in the world,
but a warm, compassionate and loving person. This website offers you
