A Physical Psyche?
quote:
quote:
How does the soul manipulate the brain w/o being physical or communicating with the brain?
The soul is not physical in the sense that is has no physical properties such as shape, color, density, size, position, etc. It is indeed physical in the sense that it can interact with the brain. For the most part I say that the soul is non-physical.
(1) OR is the *immortal soul* completely metaphysical (beyond psychology)? It seems Biblically inferred that the eternal soul has 5 *space-time* senses (Luke 16: "the Rich man in Hell" *seeing* Lazarus and *crying for a drop of water on his tongue*, etc.),
The Biblical soul, it seems to me, operates also in a *space-time* continuum, analogous or parallel to *ours*. If a soul is *astral planing*, *dreaming*, apperceiving, rapturing, and/or leaving the body
...Peradventure, it may yearn for a physical space-time continuum, a bodily house. This seems suggested of demons, biblically, as well.
Putting off the *wretched body of death* for a glorious new body is also exhorted biblically.
... As if to infer that this cheap and worthless physical body itself is illusive enough to be essentially metaphysical, with a few scientific guidelines at best.
I mean, what is your physics and chemistry? ...A bunch of illusive QUARKS and quantum mysteries (at best).
Seems to me that the soul interacts directly with light, quarks, and quantum mechanics in the brain. What do you think?

Re: Synapses vs. soul
...an emergent property of the billions of synaptic connections
Seems opposite to me.
i.e., Synapses (at the subatomic level) seem as invisible emergents of the soul? Not vice-versa.
The psyche (soul) first, then the psychology.
