Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)
The following may be stated about the origin of thought and mind
- The mind is designed to control the motion of thought.
- In nature inertia controls motion by maintaining equilibrium.
- At atomic level, the energy levels represent inertia.
- In complex molecules, the energy levels become numerous.
- Nature plays with energy levels to control motion.
- This is the origin of thought and the mind.
- We have the evolutionary programming at the molecular level.
- This is like the machine language level of the mind.
- Higher level logic is built on this evolutionary programming.
- Higher logic must pay attention to lower levels of logic.

The Basic Principle
Te evolutionary blue print of the organism is encoded in its DNA. It transmits itself from parent to the offspring. This code determines the structure of the organism in detail. This evolutionary programming of the mind exists as part of the DNA instructions. It evolves by itself at its own pace. It maintains an equilibrium of matter, energy and thought. For the organism, programming at this level is pretty much pre-determined.
There are higher layers of mind that grow out of this evolutionary layer. The higher is the layer more it is in control of the organism. Here we have the assimilation of sensations, perceptions, conceptions and knowledge that forms the reality. The organism can direct this assimilation to a degree. The underlying principle used for this assimilation is that all motion must ultimately come to the harmony, consistency and continuity of a dynamic equilibrium.

The Environment
The life organism lives within an environment. It is continually exchanging matter, energy and thought with the environment. The environment is chaotic whereas the organism is well-ordered. Anything entering the organism from the environment needs to be assimilated.
At the level of thought, the events occurring in the environment leave impressions on the mind. The mind assimilates such impressions on a real-time basis as much as possible. But, very chaotic impressions, such as those from traumatic incidents, are relatively difficult to assimilate.
The impressions are assimilated by letting all aspects of thought, energy and matter come to an equilibrium. Impressions that are difficult to assimilate, are carried forward in time until they are assimilated. They may even be passed on to the next generation through the DNA mechanism. When such impressions are finally assimilated they appear as if they are from a past life.

Assimilation
To assimilate is to “make similar.” An example of assimilation occurs when you pour water having different temperatures, in the same container. The cold water in the mixture gains heat and the hot water loses heat such that the water in that container, after some time, arrives at an equilibrium temperature.
In the mind, the equilibrium may be defined as the harmony, consistency and continuity of ONENESS. When a person spots an anomaly and looks at it more closely, all ideas and emotions in that anomaly tend to assimilate and arrive at oneness.
When sensations are assimilated they provide clearer perceptions. When perceptions are assimilated they provide clearer conceptions. When conceptions are assimilated they provide clearer knowledge. When knowledge is assimilated it results in knowingness of wisdom.

Postulate Mechanics
Ultimate origin of thought lies in the balance between inertia and motion. This balance is observed in the speed of light as being finite and constant. Varying states of balance between inertia and motion appear as discrete “energy levels” in the structure of an atom Such energy levels multiply as atoms combine into molecules.
The DNA molecule is so complex that it contains an almost continuous gradient of energy levels that can be played upon like a piano to generate complex motion. At the level of thought this motion takes the form of signals and impulses, which is enough to manage the functions of an organism. Here we have the origin of the mind that operates on the principle of bringing about an overall balance between inertia and motion.
Thought, energy and matter operate together dynamically chasing an equilibrium, which appears as harmony, consistency and continuity in every aspect of the universe. At the forefront of the universe is life.
