The human Engineering Model & the art of living in the state of EASE

We, as human and our functional operations are synonymous to a perfect engineering system which we can call it as Human Engineering System. As in any engineering system, we are also encompassed with the set of hardware & software.

State of Hardware: The hardware comprises of all the organs such liver, kidney, lungs etc.  An easy state is attained when all of these components work in a balanced way by themselves and in a harmonious way with one another. This is a EASE state. An uneasy state prevails when one or more hardware become defective and further if that affect the rest of the hardware in the system. This is a DIS-EASE state. A disease in our body is nothing but this DIS-EASED state where the hardware are not working in a structured way.

Levels of software: There are multiple layers of software that control the hardware. “Level One” is the tightly coupled software that works in close proximity to the hardware. This works automatically, involuntarily and beyond our awareness level. This is mainly controlled by the survival brain, the most primitive lower part of the brain. As of now, while you read this blog, you are consciously focussed on the text and content of this blog while your breathing happens in the background automatically without any dedicated conscious effort. In this case, the process of breathing is controlled involuntarily by the survival brain. Most of the activities such thermal regulation of the body, blood pressure, blood sugar level etc are all controlled automatically by the “level One” software . Fortunately or unfortunately, we don’t have access to this part of the software stack.

 The “level One” software acts almost in the same way across the multiple species in this universe. It is all about survival & protection mechanism of the species. Most of the animals work at this level where things are controlled by the combination of the survival & emotional brain.

Level Two software: Unlike other species, human by evolution have developed a “level two” software control. Earlier, when the primitive human races gained to control the five nature elements such as fire, water etc., the evolution of the so-called thinking brain i.e the prefrontal cortex started. This evolution took such a dramatic turn where the brain itself has grown to three fold than its original size. At this stage of the evolution, we developed the freedom to think & act freely while the rest of the animals can’t do freely at will. This free will (act of thinking & acting) is a” level Two” software and it is a freedom that is gifted only to the human.

Effect of Level Two software: Level Two software has the ability to change the auto programming of the ”level One” software and in that process can change the basic behaviour of the hardware. Such is the effect of the Level Two software on Level One and the hardware. So, the way we think and act has direct relationship in altering the fundamental behaviour of the hardware.

In other words, the freedom given to us, when not utilised in the right way may pushes us to a DIS-EASEed state changing the fundamental behaviour of our hardware. This is the sad state of the most of the psychosomatic diseases such as migraine, cancer, autoimmunity diseases etc.

In fact, the practice of mind-body exercises such as yoga offers dual benefits. Firstly, it empowers you to use the freedom given to us in the RIGHT way. Secondly, it provides an access path to reach the subconsciously controlled “level One” software to thrive us to live in the EASE state. So, invest yourself & develop a skill to reprogram you to live in the state of EASE.
