Sometime I read something which gave me the feeble feeling that may be our consciousness is due to our memory! May be time also flows just because of memeory? If there is no memory, how does one distinguishes present from past?
Today morning, my slumber was broken suddenly by the noise made by the wings of a fly trapped between the panes of my window. It was a semi-dream semi-deep-sleep state, and somehow my mind wandered in many directions at a time. And as the day is passing I was forgetting the stuffs..........hence I thought of blogging them!
Somehow I felt that the fly does not have much memory. It has a mossaic vision system, may be instantenous memory is all that it needs. Then I imagined my self to be a fly (I was in semi-dream state u remember), and tried to see how it feels. That part I have forgotten. But one thing was sure, I did not felt any inconvenience in my fly-avtar! I just had to flap my wings to get to anything that looked like food. And it was as if my body has been embedded with the art of flying. So that needs no memory. I fly to food, that needs no memry. I had mossaic vision, hece a really wide sense of sight.
But yes, there was no sense of time..................... Are flies conscious being?

does the fly need a consciousness?is consciousness essential in any way?
i recently told a friend that a perfect memory is the ultimate boon and bane. you will remember everything at all times and so wont do any mistake. but its not the memory alone that matters...as i see it you need to be conscious of that memory as well...
Well great thaought !!
How would i distinguish present from past
if i have no memory !! Hmmm! i will chew on it .
"I fly to food that needs no memory "
i am not completely conviced by this !!
If you have no memeory , how will recognize food , u will try eating anything even if this is dangerous to you !!
So there has to be somrthing else also ,
consiousness , may be !!
Take an example of new born litters, how do they know that have to suck mothers milk, they hardly have any memory , may be the natural instincts or this is what i call GOD taking care of It >>>
Let me have a feel of fly avatar sometime!!!I ll be back straight for a comment!!
