Do you think the mind/soul/spirit is non physical?

[Prøphet]

Whatever you wanna call it, I mean where your ideas come from

I don’t know what to think, is everything stemming from an idea coming from the mind, or is the mind just a physical chemical reaction playing out in reaction to the material world

maybe

maybe not

there is little we know of human consciousness

 

[tension]

the brain is all that matters

If our consciousness is just a physical process

Then by the laws of the universe, if we replicated the exact same physical conditions, you would make the same exact decision every single time

So then do we have any free will at all? If it’s all determined by biochemical reactions we were born to have?

 

[Prøphet]

Do you think our consciousness is a physical process caused by the brain? Or is it something intangible influencing the activity of the brain? Or is it something occurring in parallel with the brains activity, on a separate track?

 

[tonyStonem]

I honestly don't know

 

[tonyStonem]

Do you believe in the supernatural?

I'd say like 80% a physical process caused by the brain

However, I do think that there's probably something else that's intangible like a "soul" that also impacts our whole being

idk but from this viewpoint I guess we have illusory free will,

because it seems that we are free to do whatever we please

but our actions are predestined by our biology (sort of?)

The more one thinks the less one knows

In what way?

 

[tension]

In what way?

I wasn't even thinking abt this when I wrote that, but yk how people talk about listening to their mind vs their heart or gut feeling or wtv

In certain situations you feel something that isn't just from your mind, but from somewhere else

@Htncel1 what conclusion did you two come to and what were your initial beliefs

 

[itssoover0457]

@Htncel1 what conclusion did you two come to and what were your initial beliefs

nobody ever really dies. ur ancestors live inside you

I knew before this but, It depends what you consider physical, it exists in this physical world with physical things and you can feel and observe the soul because that is you. Can you touch it or see it? No, Does it exsist in this physical world, Yes. In conclusion it is physical.

Be more specific
And the ancestral lives inside you is partly true. We store their memories embedded in our genes
But this is biological

I’m asking for your view on the immaterial - soul/consciousness

@itssoover0457

How do you know it exists in the physical plane?

i dont think we are really gone after we die. it definitely goes somewhere. im curious abt the ancestor thing thats so trippy. i wanna know how that works

 

[HtnceI]

Because you are your soul

What would you do if you got this knowledge?
Concerning our consciousness

 

[itssoover0457]

use it to by advantage

 

[HundredManSlayer]

i do believe so yes

 

[greycel]

Don’t give half assed answers, go in detail

Because you are your soul

How do?

Thought and being is emergent from incredibly complex systems

So sort of, in a way this is like a soul, but also material, you are an emergent product of something physical

i would erase fear of death, pain, judgement, failure. everything i do is for a reason. if we die and it cuts to black, id do everything i can to experience life as much as possible.

It doesn’t cut to black
I mean what would you do if you were given the information you require?
