FLAVODIET

 A

The "Flavodiet," rich in foods containing flavonoids, may help reduce dementia risk by up to 30%. This diet emphasizes flavonoid-rich foods like tea, berries, citrus fruits, apples, onions, and dark chocolate. These compounds are thought to reduce neuroinflammation, enhance blood flow to the brain, and provide antioxidant effects that combat cellular damage, which are all factors linked to dementia prevention.

In studies, those with the highest intake of flavonoids had significantly lower rates of dementia over time. For instance, consuming foods like black and green tea, red wine (in moderation), and berries appeared to contribute to these benefits. Specifically, the anthocyanins and flavan-3-ols in these foods showed strong protective effects. Importantly, researchers suggest that the positive effects of wine come from flavonoids rather than alcohol itself, meaning that non-drinkers could focus on other flavonoid sources instead​


The Flavodiet shares similarities with the MIND diet, which combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, both of which have shown promise in reducing cognitive decline.

A

flavodiet, incorporate a variety of flavonoid-rich foods into your daily meals. Begin your day with a smoothie that includes berries and spinach for a nutritious boost. Instead of sugary drinks, opt for a refreshing cup of green or black tea. Enhance your salads and meals by adding colourful vegetables like bell peppers and kale. For a healthy snack, choose fruits such as apples or berries, or indulge in a small piece of dark chocolate. These simple changes can help you enjoy the benefits of a flavonoid-rich diet while enhancing your overall health.

In 1976, another researcher interested in consciousness, Julian Jaynes, then a professor at Princeton, published what would become a cult classic. The book was The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. To this day it still sells well, and as a young man I read it and found it fascinating. For in it Jaynes proposes a radical theory: that prior to around 1200 BCE, humanity was a set of “automatons who knew not what they did,” lacking all consciousness. Furthermore, he proposed that consciousness itself came about via the thickening of the communication between the two hemispheres of the brain, and that, prior to the full integration between the hemispheres, early consciousness had taken the form of essentially auditory hallucinations, which were often interpreted as the commandments of the gods.

Consciousness research explores the nature, origin, and functioning of consciousness—the mysterious phenomenon of self-awareness, subjective experience, and perception. Researchers across neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence aim to answer foundational questions about how consciousness arises from biological processes, its purpose, and its various levels or states.

Key Areas of Consciousness Research

  1. Neuroscientific Approaches: Neuroscientists study the brain’s structures and functions to identify regions and networks linked to conscious experience. This includes:

    • Global Workspace Theory (GWT): Proposes that consciousness emerges when information is broadcast across multiple brain networks, creating a shared "workspace" for experiences.
    • Integrated Information Theory (IIT): Suggests consciousness is linked to the amount and integration of information processed by a system.
    • Neurotransmitters and Neural Correlates: Identifying specific molecules and circuits involved in wakefulness, sleep, and altered states.
  2. Philosophical Approaches: Philosophers examine the "hard problem" of consciousness—the question of why subjective experiences (qualia) arise from physical brain processes. This includes:

    • Dualism vs. Physicalism: The debate over whether consciousness is purely a product of physical processes or if it requires a non-material component.
    • Panpsychism: The hypothesis that consciousness may be a fundamental property of the universe, existing even in elementary particles to a minimal degree.
    • The Self and Identity: Exploring concepts like the nature of self-awareness and how consciousness creates a sense of self.
  3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Consciousness: AI researchers investigate whether artificial systems can achieve a form of consciousness. While current AI lacks subjective experience, studies in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and embodied cognition suggest ways to create machines that mimic certain conscious behaviors or self-awareness.

  4. Altered States of Consciousness: Examining states beyond everyday wakefulness, such as sleep, dreams, hypnosis, meditation, and psychedelic experiences, to understand how consciousness can change and what that reveals about its underlying structure.

  5. Developmental and Evolutionary Perspectives: Researchers explore how consciousness evolves from infancy through adulthood and across species, analyzing the role of consciousness in survival, learning, and social interaction.

Breakthroughs and Challenges

While we’ve made progress in mapping brain networks associated with conscious thought, there are still challenges, including:

  • Bridging the Hard Problem: Connecting subjective experience with measurable processes remains one of the field's greatest challenges.
  • Ethical Implications: Questions about machine consciousness, treatment of animals, and neuro-enhancements raise new ethical issues.
  • Practical Applications: Applying findings in medicine, such as enhancing recovery for coma patients or creating more effective treatments for mental health.

Consciousness research remains at the frontier of science, seeking to bridge the gap between mind, brain, and the nature of reality itself.

A gentleman asked-Ma, 
from where does maya emerge? 

Ma laughingly replied
-Pitaji, to understand from where maya emerges, while one is right in the midst of it, is difficult. Try to realize Him; or, if you have no faith in Him, try to realize your Self. 
To know your Self means to know Him, and to find one’s Self, to find Him. 
When you have found your Self, all your problems will be solved. 

Q-What is the means to Self-knowledge or Self-realization? 

Ma-Endeavour to follow the path that the Guru indicates. Don’t sit idle! 
If you have not found a Guru, try to sustain the constant flow of any one God’s names that appeals to you most. Don’t spend your time just eating, sleeping, and living a humdrum life. Having received the priceless boon of a human birth, do not waste it by keeping your mind occupied with petty thoughts and worries. Rather than remaining in a dharamshala, try to reach your own real home, Pitaji!

When we use the word o’clock, we’re saying that it’s a particular hour “according to the clock.” For example, “it’s almost 4 o’clock” means the same thing as “it is almost 4 according to the clock.”

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the phrase of the clock can trace its origin back to 1384

A. TA. Enlightenment. No journey. No destination. No path

As has been clarified countless times, there is no such thing as a ‘truly spiritually awakened person’ nor ‘unawakened’ person parroting their path’s teachings…because there is no person. The separate entity (that either ‘gets awakened’ or ‘doesn’t get awakened’) is the illusion. There is only Being.

“The Self (Being) is always the Self and there is no such thing as ‘attaining it.’ Who is to ‘attain’ what, and how, when all that exists is the Self?” - Ramana Maharshi.

“There is only the ‘I am.’ Not I am this or I am that, I am awakened or I am still seeking & parroting. Indeed, there is no “I.” Only “Am,” pure Beingness. The illusion is all these dream-characters thinking “they” are the doer, the seeker, the student, teacher or ‘awakener.’ - Sri Nisargadatta

It was philosopher Charles Peirce in the 1800s who introduced the term “quale” to refer to how “there is a distinctive quale to every combination of sensation… a peculiar quale to every day and every week—a peculiar quale to my whole personal consciousness.” 18 “Quale” comes from “quiddity,” which means the inherent or ultimate essence of something—how a thing is. William James, one of the founders of psychology, and brother to Henry James, the novelist, made use of the same term. Even now, contemporary philosophers like David Chalmers use “qualia” as a synonym for what is intrinsic about “consciousness,” or “experience,” or “phenomenology,” or “subjective experience,” etc., where “qualia” refers to the what-it-is-likeness of a particular sensation or thought.

You look down at your legs.

The same old legs that once carried you everywhere, the legs that let you take large strides to wherever you wanted.

Now unused, probably never going to be used either.

After all, it’s been years since you last actually walked freely.

Back when you were still healthy.

Back when you didn’t have that forsaken tumor in your stomach.

Everyone tried.

As soon as it was discovered, you did everything to clear yourself from that curse.

Surgery after surgery, you could feel your life slip away, as gradually, you grow weaker as they cut out most of your stomach. You grow weaker as you can barely eat, and you struggle your daily life in pain, and and wrestling to do basic activities that you can’t do alone anymore.

Before you know it, you can’t leave the bed.

From the bed, you can see everything that goes around you.

You can hear that your family is struggling to keep you in the hospital, despite their greatest efforts to make sure you can’t hear.

You can see the arguments spark between your relatives.

You can see your sickness slowly creating a gap between everyone you loved.

Amidst that, you can feel your mind growing more hazy.

Days fly by, you blurt out things you don’t mean, yet it still hurts the people around you.

You are moved between hospitals, constantly being treated. After all, it is the doctor’s job to try to let at least one more patient live. But they know it’s futile. You know it’s futile. You know that you have not many days left to live.

No one says it out loud, but everyone has been preparing themselves for a goodbye.

But somewhere, from the back of your mind, you shout back.

You want to live.

I want to live, it screams, as your mind falls even deeper into the abyss. Your thoughts get sucked into the empty void, the void where nothing exists, where you would be nothing. You protests, scrambling to crawl out of the crater. But everything becomes clouded, devoid of light, as even that one protest fades away…

Earlier than the morning, far before the sun’s light had even shown on the sky, each of your relatives would get a call from the hospital.


Yup, cancer’s a bitch.

I would say sudden death.

That was the only death I’ve seen in my life and frankly, I never want to see something like that ever again.

Whether it is a slow death in that it takes hours to die, or a slow death that takes years for the disease to take over, I don’t want to spend even the shortest amount of time knowing that I will die. That’s not how I want to spend my last moments.

At least in a sudden death, I wouldn’t need to be in pain, physically or emotionally.

Well this turned depressing real quick.

The "Z Argument" is a philosophical argument related to consciousness, originating in thought experiments that question the nature of subjective experience and the challenge of understanding consciousness through purely physical explanations. While there isn't a universally agreed-upon "Z Argument" in philosophy, the term is often associated with debates about zombies—hypothetical beings that are physically and behaviorally identical to humans but lack conscious experience.

The "Zombie" Argument in Consciousness Studies

  1. Philosophical Zombies (P-Zombies): In discussions on consciousness, a philosophical zombie (or "p-zombie") is a creature that behaves exactly like a human—showing emotions, reactions, language use, etc.—but has no subjective experience or "inner life." This idea was popularized by philosopher David Chalmers in his arguments regarding the "hard problem of consciousness."

  2. Purpose of the Argument: The zombie thought experiment is used to argue that consciousness cannot be fully explained by physical processes alone. If it’s possible to conceive of a being that is identical to a human in every physical way but lacks consciousness, then consciousness must be something beyond just the physical arrangement of neurons or biological processes.

  3. Implications of the Argument:

    • Dualism vs. Physicalism: The possibility of zombies suggests that physicalism—the belief that everything, including consciousness, can be explained by physical processes—might be incomplete. If zombies can exist, then consciousness (or subjective experience) could be a non-physical property, supporting some form of dualism.
    • The Hard Problem of Consciousness: This argument highlights the "hard problem," which asks why and how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience. Even if we understand all the brain’s mechanisms, the experience of “what it’s like” to perceive or feel remains elusive.
  4. Critiques of the Zombie Argument:

    • Conceivability vs. Possibility: Critics, like philosopher Daniel Dennett, argue that just because we can imagine zombies doesn't mean they are possible. The idea that zombies lack consciousness may simply reflect our limited understanding of consciousness, not that consciousness is separate from physical processes.
    • Epiphenomenalism: Some argue that consciousness could be an epiphenomenon—a byproduct of physical processes without causal influence on behavior. This view challenges the idea that consciousness is a "mystery" separate from the body.

Conclusion

The zombie argument remains central in discussions of consciousness because it challenges assumptions about the relationship between mind and body. It suggests that, while we may map the brain's physical processes, we may still not understand the essence of subjective experience—indicating the need for a more nuanced approach to understanding consciousness.
