Did ChatGROPE write that?
Hard to process the evasion.
Still, no one can say what a women is.
I saw “cut and dry.” Should be “cut and dried.” Who or what wrote that?
It’s interesting. I think most of us already know that the seat of consciousness is in the brain, not the heart, foot, etc. Historically speaking, I don’t know if that was always the case.
Whether it’s here or there, I think each of us has a decision to make. Is your awareness of self (consciousness) real or is it an illusion? This question applies to all the senses. If you see something, real or illusion? Hear something, real or illusion? The natural assumption in all cases is real, but someone can always make a case that it could be an illusion. Only you can decide what you believe.
If believe my self-awareness is a valid awareness of self. This is much like seeing a squirrel and concluding that there is a squirrel. My eyes see, but the squirrel has a reality that is independent of my eyes. The brain is probably critical to self-awareness, but my self has a reality that is independent from my brain. Related terms, if not synonyms, for self are mind and soul.
Many people who have near death experiences (or is that death experiences?) report having an out-of-body experience. How can the self leave the body if they are one and the same?
Is there free-will? Have you ever made a decision? Our experiences say yes. However, once again, someone can make the case that Newtonian physics (not quantum mechanics) applies. By this view, free-will is just an illusion. Your choice is wholly determined by your current state and sensory input. (I don’t think Newton believed this to be the case.).
If you have free-will, where is it? I think it’s part of the non-physical self. But who knows? Maybe someone will locate a random-number generator someplace in your body that you confuse with free-will and making a decision.
This is a hilarious article. BAD SCIENCE!
Consciousness is centered in the soul which is attached to the physical body it manifests.
Ever since I died, crossed over to Heaven and returned to this physical body, consciousness is physical to my perception.
I even read the stored memories of past experiences in a person’s soul as physical objects. You can put ear plugs and blindfold the person and I knock them off their feet by merely touching the stored traumatic memories in a person’s soul, many feet from their physical body.
In the human brain, external consciousness flows into the right temporal parietal junction and out of the left temporal parietal junction. I see and feel it, and have for 30+ years. Finally, Trans Magnetic Cranial Stimulation experiments are finding what I’ve been saying for years.
In addition, consciousness connects with the entire peripheral nervous system, throgh both the afferent spinal neurons and the vagus nerve. Even the heart connects directly with the soul and is the reason the heart will beat for as long as 20 minutes after being removed from the body.
Science has totally missed the boat by not studying the frequencies of consciousness and the action potential firing rate of the neurons in various areas of the brain.
Recently I was contacted by a woman who showed me her ERP test results.(Event Related Potentials) EEG is a continuous measure of electrical brain activity. ERPs, on the other hand, are short segments of EEG data that are time-locked to particular events of experimental interest, and typically averaged over many trials of an experiment.
I had to laugh as the neurosurgeon did not understand the results. Neither did the research facility that administered the tests.
I told this woman about the lower frequency in her right occipital lobe several years ago. I could feel it by being near her. It showed up on the ERP. But most of her consciousness was functioning outside the normal frequency bands of delta, theta, alpha and beta. The EEG and ERP tests do not record the higher frequencies.
Consciousness is no more centered or stored in the physical body than the music you hear coming from a radio is stored in the radio.
Ho hum. Articles like this are so boring. In other news, the intellect is the superior power in the human soul and uses the brain to process sensations, images, dangers and feelings. Proof: tigers have brains but tigers do not use subjects and predicates like I am doing now thanks to my intellect.
