To understand what the smart phone does to your brain, one must first take a quick dive into the world of algorithms. An algorithm in its basic definition is a set of rules to be followed to calculate and problem solve. When we think of an algorithm we tend to think about computers being ignorant of the fact that a computer is in fact designed after the functions of the human brain; functions like logic, reproducibility, predictably and math. And in terms of productivity and efficiency, the most advanced super computers up to date are many times slower than the human brain. Biology is Devine creation and life itself is much smarter than computers. "For example, the brain is both hardware and software, where as there is an inherent difference in computers, the same interconnected areas, linked by billions of neurons and perhaps trillions of glial cells, can perceive, interpret, store, analyze and redistribute at the same time. Computers by there very definition and fundamental design have some parts for processing and others for memory; the brain doesn't make that separation, which makes it hugely efficient".-(John Staughton Human ABC) Basically the brain is a super computer on steroids and more when it comes to problem solving.
For some these facts alone can lead a man to whatever destination his mind can muster because understanding the brains processing power leads to downloading the right software needed for desired results!
Now what happens when the brain is put in a position where there is no goal to be had and hyper stimuli images infested with propoganda enter the brainwaves? Well naturally the brain goes to work ingesting these images and messages and starts hardwiring the codes for the artificially triggered result.
So imagine the brain having small lightning bolts of electricity firing around the billions of neurons in your brain and like a pin ball machine eventually these lighting bolts sink into the hole and become a part of your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind has no other choice but to hardwire these patterns into the brain and make them conscience realities in the mind. The mind decides whether you're in heaven or hell, the hero of the villain, or whether this existence is worth living at all.
Always remember "the kingdom of heaven is within you" as the Christ stated. This sacred truth comes with a great price and the ability to obtain and maintain the heavenly realms within is not easy, but in this day and age where information is almost infinite and we can readily attain the highest wisdom and knowledge of all the ages; we can consciously take control of our minds and create the inner heaven we desire. Man has proven many times through history the heights that the mind, body and soul can ascend when hope, discipline and faith are combined. One cannot go ahead of the other. The training of the mind body and soul must be simultaneous because discipline in each will ensure the constant decree forming the patterns of thought necessary for improvement. Ofcourse this must be done in a gradual manner appropriate to the individuals current capabilities and the exact disciplines necessary can come from the best science available in the subjects of mindfulness, diet, fitness, and spirituality. -The pride of Lucy
