Nor could the will be located in the physical brain when we know of creatures who act willfully but have no brain (amoeba, etc.) - and other collectives of creatures (such as ants and bees) which act together with a single will....

Our correspondents seem to want to ignore this evidence, Alamo-Girl. Either that or they have not yet appreciated its full significance.

It suggests that the will is non-local and real which is why we believe it is "field-like" if not an actual field, like gravity, electro/magnetism, strong and weak atomic.

Perhaps there are biofields at work, extending both to life and consciousness. (The "ghost in the machine" may be facilitated by such.) There is much interesting work going on today along these lines!

Thank you so much for writing!

I suspect they have not yet grasped the full significance of it!

So very true! The key is the will to live, the willful origination of successful communication in molecular machinery.

I gotta run now, but I look forward to reading all the replies later tonight!

Hindus, monists and materialists must ignore the evidence lest their philosophical arks spring a leak.
