1. The Case for the Soul (Neuroscience) 

I have to watch the video a couple times just to begin to begin to even understand it. You are a genius. God bless you

Jeffrey Schwartz's book "You Are Not Your Brain" freed me from OCD. I can attest to his methods working. I'm glad the implications of his research are farther reaching than I originally realized.

The narrator can articulate religion, philosophy, and leading-edge science with ease. You, sir, are a real Renaissance man!

Also love how you always add sources to your claims, we need more of this!

"It was right to dismiss the notion of the ghost in the machine, not because there is no ghost, but because there is no machine." powerful line

JUST thinking about this a few days ago!!! I have elements of the 'dark triad' ( narcissism Machiavellianism, psychopathy ) in my family.... Mostly narcissistic behavior. Psychology says that these behaviors are completely unchangeable... As a Christian, I've never believed this.... I may put myself into the habit of behaving and acting a certain way, however ultimately, I am the captain of my own ship. I am culpable, my choices make me who I am. Change is always possible.

So who else is totally confused after watching this video. Complicated stuff!

I'm officially inspired to glorify God with science and philosophy. Awesome, thanks. God bless :) amen and shalom :)

Excellent research as always. I'm continually impressed by the way that you consistently point toward the research of experts in various fields to gather information and do your analysis. Always a huge step above the vast majority of youtubers who exhibit a kind of Dunning-Kruger effect. But what I find most incredible of *all*, quite literally, is the age we now live in. . and how so many lines of evidence can all converge on one, single, comprehensive world view. The 20th century was dominated by various naive materialistic philosophies. Now, in the 21st century, its time for it to move over, and make room for the evidence.

"let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus"

Job 32:8. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. The mind of man is a spiritual entity.

The analogy that I use with regard to the interaction between the mind and the brain and why brain damage can affect personality is one between a pianist and a piano. No matter how well trained and talented a pianist (the mind) is, if the piano (the brain) is damaged, he will not be able to produce music.

I think this makes sense. As a counselor who sometimes works with the severe mental disorders, I know that counseling alone is not always the answer. The perfect storm is counseling + medication. The medication treats the brain. The counseling treats the mind. Just one is not normally effective.

I don't agree with everything you say but your videos are truly inspiring, I'm so glad to see christians making rational arguments for their beliefs, apologetics is nothing but good for the world.

Dude sounds like he just hit puberty

Sooo..basically we are SPIRITS having a material/physical experience. Our whole world is an illusion "there is no spoon" ~Matrix

Really helpful video. The use of the word 'soul' can be somewhat loaded since it has religious connections. I find it useful to understand that what is being referred to is an unknown invisible and (as yet) undetectable and non-replicable energy (life) - that nevertheless we know exists by its effects. I provide a metaphor in my book 'What's the Point?' that the physical brain is like the computer systems in the Mandalorian spaceship the Razor Crest. It requires input from an outside agency (the Mandalorian/life/soul) to be switched on and utilised. The output from the computer (the physical brain) creates data (mind) that is then utilised by the Mandalorian to take him on his journey. Paul

Your research and documentation is impressive to me so I used to be an auditor and relied much on documentation to resolve question cost. I like the way you cite other people especially people like John Walton and Michael Heiser and I read many of their books and it is indeed edifying and educational to know who to read that you have recommended so it's much a part of my education now that I'm retired and can devote a day to reading a book and can learn quite a bit just by reading when you know who and what to read. I've signed up to be a patron of yours and I count it a privilege based on the true that you present in these videos and on this channel. God bless you.

Brilliant! You keep impressing, you have been truly given the gift of clarity and understanding. Keep it up! Preach to the world!

_"...We can see that it was right to dismiss the notion of the Ghost in the Machine, not because there is no Ghost but because there is no Machine."_ LOVE IT!! Such a classy and pithy way of expressing quantum idealism, which (I think) I agree with. Thanks for the quote and for making this video. There's a LOT of great information here! I'm sure I'll refer to it many times in the future. Subscribed.

This video is so incredibly good, very well done :D.

I currently started in a philosophy of mind class and I just got to say that I am so relieved that you did a set of videos on this! When I first approached the mind body problem I did think that Idealism was a persuasive idea, but I had no clue about dualistic-idealism! (I don't know how this view was not even presented in my class?) Truly this is a new and fascinating approach! Thanks for providing the resources as well. I can't wait to get through the rest of your videos.

This was fascinating. I'm glad I subscribed.

One of InspiringPhilosophy's best! I loved this one. Thank you. :D

Very interesting. I've not heard it expressed this way, neither from this perspective on the majority of other videos on the topic (by believers and non-believers alike) so this was a great listen. I hope you continue on to make this part 1 of 4, too. If so, I look forward to the other videos to come. Thanks for sharing this. Really loved how you ended it. :)

I loved the last line. Thought-provoking video!

A phrase comes to *mind* after watching this video: mind over matter

1:23 This quote broke my mind. This is huge. People say that the brain is what makes you decide, well then prove it folks. That one experiment/quote alone is the most fascinating thing I have ever heard about the brain.

I do like the idea of the body as a vehicle and the "real" mind (whatever that is) is the driver. If an air crafts landing gear are jammed, that aircraft just cant land normally and by extension, the pilot cant either - but the pilot is still able to land an aircraft that isnt defective. Experiencing life through a body requires the bodys brain to function - when it doesnt, a mind may not have enough to fiddle with to operate normally (from an external pov). Maybe it will be able to rewire certain parts, maybe it wont know how, maybe it can but over time, maybe it wont notice all the broken parts, etc.

wow, that is crazy! and as i continue to learn more about consciousness, it continues to amaze me! thank you! great video

There was a documentary I watched, by a nuclear physicist, about quantum physics. As I recall, he talked in part, about the tryptophan molecule in the decision-making process of the brain; that it partly exists in a quantum superposition, and making a decision requires an observer in order to collapse the superposition. He said that the observer is our mind, which must exist separately, in order to be an observer. The question then is, if the mind is observing and creating that decision-making process, what else is it observing and creating?...Everything? This is true that, when I was seven, I believed the light came out of our eyes, and painted the world, then my teacher told me that the light comes into our eyes, and she spoiled everything. I remember that day, and now, five decades later, quantum physics, and the science of quantum consciousness, are telling me that I may well be right, after all.

I'm very interested in any new studies in relation to this topic, and ADHD. Most days I actually love my ADHD "perks", but there are others I detest having it. The road to balance through some of what we're discovering doesnt seem insane to me, and I'd happily offer myself up as a guinea pig! In regards to the rest of the vid... "...not because there is no ghost, but there is no machine. " Wow. Excited to delve into the chanel. Keep up the good work!

" the pieces are coming together now..."

Perhaps the mind, quantum information, etc exist on a higher dimension? Just as the 3rd dimension has a shadow in the 2nd dimension, and the 4th dimension has a shadow in the 3rd dimension, perhaps the mind's shadow in our dimension is the brain, and quantum information's shadow is shadowed/distorted through observation(Uncertainty Principle)?

9 years later your video is still absolutely brilliant bro 👏 👏 👏

I love the high speed and energy of this report.

Love your channel -- whether one agrees with every argument or not, all of your arguments are all well-reasoned and backed by science. And really, what else could one hope to aspire to? Thank you for your efforts, and please keep up the great work!

IP this is your gift! Keep on and thanks.

Incredible production! A new level in video production in general, I'd say!

This has left me with more questions then answers great upload 👑I've had to subscribe

And the Great Mind said "Let there be Brains" Idealism works for me. Great vid as usual.

Hey there IP. Mind = Blown. ;) I've also questioned how the brain and the soul are connected or if there is a correlation. The Phineas Gage case was something that always intrigued me and how that could relate to it. I'm looking forward to the rest in this series! You've got me at the edge of my seat. These videos are always a pure joy to watch. If I was more financially stable I would be a patron. I mean I'm okay. I'm just following a different path that God has me on. When I can, I will. These are wonderful and always thought provoking. I'm trying to learn as much as I can and these videos are full of information. Thank you for doing this. I don't know if I always agree (because there is so much information out there and I need time to understand it) but I'm glad God has set this in your heart. Good luck and God Bless.

This channel is so soothing man.

Brother Michael I have to say that your videos about the mind helped me to make a new approach to the issues of the mind. As a Christian they were really helpful. Thanks.

cool looking forward to the rest reminds of romans 12 vs 1-2 :)

I want to thank you so much for this video. I am one who suffers from OCD and have for the last 16 years. It is not as bad anymore because in large part due to Shwartz' work and learning that I can train my brain how to think so to speak. So from a personal experience I know this to be true. Another great video man !!!!

the phrase "I dont mind" be hitting different tho.

That was awesome! Great job... I thoroughly enjoyed it. And how did you do those animations? I mean, of the 3D human body systems? That was great!

Wow! Love the link to idealism. Berkeley was right all along as quantum physics now shows.

Very good video. It seems as though you've read Keith Ward's book, "More than Matter:, which is a great exposition into the dual aspect idealism. If you ever have a chance, you should pick up William Hasker's, "The Emergent Self", which contains some great material you might find interesting. I think on a more fundamental level, a good point to make in future videos is that a conscious agent produced purely by physics and chemistry wouldn't hold any intentional states. In fact, this is the major reason why many philosophers do not hold to eliminative materialism. Thanks for your work.

1:20 he could not stimulate the will.... God gave us free will, our choices, decisions and actions can be influenced but the will lies within us. And thanks to God for that! Can you imagine someone else having your will?! God is good, his mysterious works surround us. 🙏🏼🌍❤

Consider my mind blown! That was so interesting!

God Bless you IP!

In my head and mind, i've thought this, the only thing that has caused me to think on it over and over is the fact that physical trauma to the brain can cause personality changes. One day i hope to realize an explanation. Good vid i hope more people watch it or listen to it at least. Thank you.

You cannot stop existing only God can stop you God can do anything

Brain= receiver Mind = consciousness

Pseudoscience can lead you to any preconceived conclusion. You want the soul to exist and gather ill-understood information to support your claim. This is just bogus

Interesting how the brain is still deeply functioning while one is a sleep. Maybe the soul recalibrates the mind and body to function even better as we grow within our 5 senses, yes?

It’s also possible that a near neath experience simply changes ones decision making, just looking at the importance of things differently.

This speaks to the idea of manifest. Ancient religions spoke of this, and my grandmother who was religious but not churchgoing used to tell me as a child that she knew that words are manifest(i.e. thoughts that become things). During DMT trips, users all share similar experiences while still slightly subjective, see or meet what they describe as machine elves. Almost all that meet these machine elves say the same thing....that the machine elves essentially show them manifest and share with the user that they too can manifest. Also, the DMT trips allow one to see the universe for what it is... ever churning fields of manifest. I have done DMT once, and while I didn't achieve what is called a "breakthrough" I was able to see the fields. As a radiation therapist that understands particle physics and empirical science, this understanding has changed forever the way I look at particle physics. There is now a lot of evidence showing that one can "speak"(i.e. think) and manifest.

1. Two entities can only interact if they have overlapping qualities. A physical entity can only interact with another physical entity. 1a. If an entity can be further divided, then it can only consist of interacting entities, otherwise it would consist of two or more disjunct entities. 2. The universe is all of spacetime, and within it all entities with physical qualities. 3. God interacts or interacted with the universe. (this is what scripture says) 4. It follows from 1. and 3. that God has physical qualities. 5. It follows from 1a. and 4. that God only has physical qualities. (There may be non physical entities, but neither the universe, nor God can interact with them. Therefore, anything non-physical is untestable and unknowable.) 6. It follows from 2. and 5. that God is in its entirety part of the universe (which is the sum of all physical entities, and of those only). You can replace God with the soul, the minotaur, or anything you can think about. According to the argument, God, the soul, and the minotaur do exist, at least inside of brains.

Sounds very informative - would have loved to have listen fully but the background music is too disruptive !

Great video! God bless!

Hey, I enjoy your presentations. Nice music choices as well. Also, I know some of the words that you use.

Amazing how compatible this all is with Plato. More footnotes to Plato. :-P

And to defend Christianity. amen and shalom :)

Very compelling! I'll have to consider the Idealism approach as opposed to substance/mind dualism that I normally adopt. I would venture to say that Idealism is perhaps more compatible with my Judeo-Christian worldview too.

The Law myoho-renge-kyo represents the identity of what some scientists refer to as the ‘unified field of all consciousnesses’. In other words, it’s a sound vibration that is the essence of all of existence and non-existence, the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the true creator of everything that is, ever was and ever will be, right down to the minutest particles of dust, each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves by tapping directly into it by way of self-produced sound vibration. On the subject of ‘Who or What Is God?’, when we compare the concept of ‘God’, as a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to Nichiren’s teachings, the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people call ‘God’ is our enlightenment, which exists nowhere else but within us. When the disciples asked Jesus where the Kingdom of God is, didn’t he tell them that it was within them? Some say that ‘God’ is an entity that can never be seen. I think that the vast amount of information that is constantly being conveyed via electromagnetic waves gives us proof of how an invisible state of ‘God’ could actually exist. It’s widely known that certain data being relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects, including instant global awareness of something or mass emotional reaction. As well as many other things, it’s also common knowledge that these waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to even enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars. However, none of this is possible without a receiver to decode the information that is being transmitted. Without the receiver, the information would remain impotent. In a very similar way, it’s important for us to have our ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our life, all other life and what we and all else that exists truly is. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and switch it on. That’s because the sound vibration of myoho-renge-kyo represents the combination of the three major laws that underlie all existence. Myoho represents the Law of latency and manifestation (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. One state of myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists. This includes our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them, our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re not being expressed, our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma, and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes obvious to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory, whenever we experience or express our emotions, or whenever a good or bad effect manifests from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it simply means that it has come out of the state of ‘myo’ (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s simply the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing something. The second law, renge, governs and controls the functions of myoho, ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect. The two laws of myoho and renge, both functions together simultaneously, as well as underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination, kyo, is what allows the law myoho to be able to integrate with the law renge. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects together all Life and matter, as well as the past, present and future. It is often termed the Universal Law of Communication. Perhaps it could even be compared to the string theory that some scientists now suspect exists. Just as our body cells, thoughts, feelings and all else are constantly fluctuating within us, everything in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux, in accordance with these three laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible for us to calculate or describe. And it doesn't matter how big or small, important or trivial that anything may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of myoho-renge-kyo. These three laws are also the basis of the four fundamental forces and if they didn't function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. Simply put, all forms of existence, including the seasons, day and night, birth, death and so on, are all moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation, rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two universal states of myo and ho in absolute accordance with renge and by way of kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn in accordance with the workings of what the combination myoho-renge-kyo represents. Nam, or Namu, on the other hand, is a password or a key; it allows us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with myoho-renge-kyo. On a more personal basis, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives from moment to moment, as well in our environment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is turning, and rhythmically chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for a minimum of ten minutes daily, anyone can experience actual proof of its positive effects in their life. In so doing, we can pierce through even the thickest layers of our karma and activate our Buddha Nature (the enlightened state). We’re then able to summon forth the wisdom needed to challenge, overcome and change our negative circumstances into positive ones. It brings forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that is preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we truly are, regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexual preference. We are also able to see and understand our circumstances and an environment more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. Actual proof soon becomes apparent to anyone who chants the words Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on a regular daily basis. Everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect, so the strength of the result from chanting depends on dedication, sincerity and determination. To explain it more simply, the difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a song and so on. NB: There are frightening, disturbing sounds and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It's the emotional result from any sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day you are producing a sound vibration that is the password to your true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things, such as your fears and desires etc. The important way to get the best result when chanting is not to see things in a conventional way (difficult to achieve but can be done), rather than reaching out to an external source, you need to reach into your own life and bring your needs and desires to fruition from within, including any help that you may need. Think of it as a seed within you that you are bringing sunshine and water to in order for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s important to understand that everything that we need in life, all the answers and potential to achieve our dreams, already exist within us. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6CZ0XJqWRr4.html OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN sings about Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

A strong argument for a weak proposition. Well done.

Wow, so this "Double-Aspect Idealism" you and Keith Ward are promoting is just double-aspect theory (or as I like to call it double-aspect monism) which was promoted by Baruch Spinoza back in the seventeenth century! I myself have become very interested in double-aspect theory myself. Spinoza believed that the Existence had two aspects, Extension and Mind, which together were to be taken as two of an infinite set of attributes comprising God (or, Nature). This also seems to be the view promoted by Thomas Nagel, C.G. Jung, Wolfgang Pauli, David Bohm and Arthur Schopenhauer. It's also interesting because these views isn't the exact same as the subjective idealism (immaterialism) promoted by Bishop George Berkeley.

late 2 party again but here now good job as far as I can tell dude

It's like driving a car, you're the one who's driving(controlling!) it but you have a limited amount of control on it, for example you cannot make it fly or climb a mountain and if the back tyres go flat then the car will go side ways all the time and if u can't replace the tyres( like u can't replace your hypothalamus) then you have to carry on...

Thank you for your very useful content. I'm particularly interested in what you think about moral responsibility for people whose bad behavior is a result of a brain injury. For example, should a human court grant them leniency and what would it look like? How do you believe God will judge them? It seems like a bit of a dilemma to me and I'd be interested in knowing what you think. Thanks again.

I’m curious, with this being said what happens to our memories after the physical body is gone and only our mind (which could be called a soul) is left if memory seems to be part of the brain

My son and I love your videos. God bless you.

I don't know if you will get this as this video is several months old. But if you do, is this video posted anywhere without the music? I really love your videos and I've learned so much. I'm fascinated by this one but I couldn't follow it because of the music. It was a lot to take in. Thanks for all the work you do! I've shared your video on Job with everyone I know. It was truly amazing! God bless!

I think everyone here is severely over analyzing the case of Phineas P. Gage. the railroad spike guy. ANYONE who suffers a near death traumatic injury similar to his, WILL exhibit similar symptoms. Saying things like "he gambled more", "less reliable", "bad temper" could literally apply to any Post Traumatic Stress victim. give the guy a break, he almost died, the constant pain must have been excruciating, and he was horribly disfigured and unable to work to support himself. obviously he sunk into a deep depression. no different than any amputee soldier coming back from war. People change all the time, that doesn't mean anything. you are not even comparing apples and oranges here, more like comparing a digital watch to a blue whale, there is no correlation whatsoever.

Some hints to improve videos: [1] I assume most people can't read and listen at the same time. Don't have written statements showing while you're narrating. Allow some silence if you're going to show words, phrases, statements, otherwise most people will miss one or the other: your narration, or the words. [2] I assume most people can't really listen, or focus on to 2 things at the same time very effectively. Music in the background may be able to get around this somewhat, if it's not an intrusive, excitement producing type. If you play music in the background, the fact that you have to reduce the volume substantially also reduces the quality of the music in this case, and turns it into something closer to a nuisance than a support. The kind of fast, urgent and loud intention of the music [this kind of music is intended to be played at a higher volume. At such a low volume, it devolves to more of a noise rather than music] in this video detracts more than anything else, and I have to ignore it in order to listen to your narration. Slow and peaceful music [if you're going to use music at all] would have supported the narration much more powerfully than music that was meant to be loud, dominant, & climactic, but was turned down to allow focus on the narration. This seems to be a recipe for futility and subtle conflict. Also, I think your videos will have more power if the sound is not constant in it's doubled attempt to keep attention. Cut the music out altogether now and then, let it breathe. If you give some breaks to various elements, they will be more powerful [and more artistic] when you bring them back in. That goes for every other element as well. If every second of the video is a full onslaught of every possible medium, it quickly drains the artistic [1st] and emotional [eventually] appeal away. Give it some thought. Otherwise, good effort on the overall presentation and graphics. You have the graphics down pretty well, now just focus on the wise and alternating use of sounds, and let them sync with graphics in a way that is considerate of your audiences attention capacity.

Great video!!!!

It is amazing work!

Wouldn't this have been a real nice vid if the the background music was absent? There's no way to listen to the message without getting a concussion.

Not a single one of your argument could actually prove that the mind isn't a physical mass

When conducting the double slit experiment they concluded that the act of measuring gives defined property to a electron. Means everything in the nature we see is there because we as a conscious mind sees it. So here he says that the brain is just a part of the physical manifestations of the mind and we are not humans with soul but we are souls with human. Because our body exist because our mind sees it, so it all just comes back to one thing I.e. Conciousness and what is it?

IP, I read Kant's CPR years ago, and dual aspect theory seems to be a reinterpretation of his two worlds view. If I understand your video correctly, it suggests that the mind is primary, and it is imposing structure to the "noumena". As I see it, dual aspect theory is saying there is a diff between looking at your cognitive faculties and seeing through them. That said, there is no physical as such, but information that is being interpreted by our mind with the appearance of being physical. I remember reading Chomsky's challenge to physicalist where he suggests that there is no coherent definition of physical so there is no mind/body problem. In fact, he did a video called "the ghost in the machine" where he does an all out assault on mechanistic philosophy. Thanks for the video, I'll have to do some research cause I'm still having some issues understanding it.

Matter is not real but emerges from information, yep, I realized this long ago. Platonic values = information.

we are 'contingent' observers, and what WE observe contains actual, physical properties as 'created' by the observance of infinite mind. what I don't hear you tackle is, WHY? what is the purpose of this 'realized' observation by infinite mind of a 'physical' universe populated with embodied souls?

Very very very good video!

Another great video. Could you make some videos about your take on dreams, afterlife, and DMT?

5 dislikes within 50 minutes of being up... I think we all know where those came from lol.

Good to see science catching up with Buddhist philosophy.

There's an awareness of agent/person or simply a sense of "I" or "You" having intentions. I called it a soul. However, awareness of the intention perhaps be fed by the neurons and it is the neurons that decide. Awareness is quite the hallmark of the mind.

I absolutely loved the little I understood

the dramatic, "uplifting"/motivational music gives you away. you should know that by now.

holy crap this is one of the best video I've seen on such subjects, stunned

Very interesting, thanks.

Very informative and believable and just incredible if this was true and for some strange reason I believe to be man is unraveling all kinds of mysteries the last 20 years or so keep up the good work

I knew about this stuff years ago. Good job of putting this stuff together. You do excellent work. Thank you.

Forgive me. I'm not as intelligent as you at all. I'm trying to sink this information all in. My biggest question is this, what about animals? Are they a sole separate from the mind as well, if I understood you correctly? By the way, I myself am a Christian who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm not here to doubt or disprove anything you say. I support you 100%

Cemi field theory postulates that the mind is a feedback loop between the brain and its own electromagnetic field. It can explain the problems of mind-body duality and unified perception quite neatly within a physical context.

Summary of Comment Section: We don't understand the difference between Idealism and Substance Dualism (Homunculus). The video actually argues for the former, but we're going to accuse it of clinging to the latter.
