Your Brain is God

Your Brain is God


If my brain is God, shouldn't It be so omnipotent that It can banish all the other brains in the universe to the perpetual purgatory of watching reruns of 'The Love Boat' .... for eternity?

Your brain is god of your "self", your essence.

Your brain is god. Your perceptions are mind. Your spirituality is consciousness. Your essence is self.

Little too definitive for me.

You and I are at max 100 years old. I'm much younger than that.

The universe is at least a few billion years old, and we've seen only an infinitely small percentage of it.

I think there's much more to this "life" thing than meets the eye (or brain), and I don't think we're at liberty to answer (definitively) a great many questions.

I agree Kevin and as science continues to advance, we will continue to tap into the mysteries of the mind.

Taoism has been around for a few millennia...just say'n.

Science abhors circular logic. In science, the observer, and the subject of observation, are separate.

Are you implying that the mind of a person resides outside of the brain?

We are back to Tao...not a bad place to be, but it is not Science.

I am not familiar with Tao. The great debate amongst scientists whether consciousness resides outside of the brain continues.

Here is an excellent book on the subject. NDE accounts show consciousness resides outside of the brain.

Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience: Pim van Lommel: 9780061777264: Amazon.com: Books

Fine and dandy. But the critical phrase is 'Near-Death'. Ask the authors if they have any observations of 'After-Death' experiences. Then...it would constitute 'Science'.
