Whilst walking to the station today I heard the GPS system within a van speaking within it, the van was doing a slow crawl at basically my speed so I could hear each turn and future advice it was giving and I began to think 'is that not just what our body is telling us all the time?': "move here; don't go there; consider this" and it reinforced the idea that really we are similar to highly sophisticated machines that have been programmed with these voices. And that those voices are a level of consciousness, one pre-programmed and not always correct (but a good starting point) and that the voices tell our bodies how to function and how to work, but that we can also have a voice that supersedes them, a higher consciousness that improves upon the one speaking to us.
That if we are just machines then we can also learn to reconfigure the voices, that we don't just have to be a person following the commands of a machine uploaded with information that isn't always correct.
It's a fine starting point but we can always improve upon it
