Re: Yellow Alert - No Advancement
We'll discuss this more when the moderators here at EvC address it in the other thread.

Re: Mind and matter
Hmmm...It would be interesting to start a new thread where we all pool our resources together to see what information is available.
I'm not totally against the idea of there being some part of the brain where total volitional control is produced. I just haven't seen or read any evidence for it yet.
Like I said, the evidence I've seen seems to indicate otherwise.

Re: What does this explain?

Exactly what does your hypothesis purport to explain? Where's the necessity?
I thought I had made some of this clear already. The hypothesis purports to explain why consciousness appears to be able to continue on independantly from the brain.
crashfrog writes:
And how, in your model, does a human body generate a soul effect?
The human body probably most likely extends partially into other more compact dimensions via its soul. Therefore the human soul would be an extension of the human body which has a multidimensional component to it -- vacuum tension.
crashfrog writes:
Sex generates human bodies; how does sex generate a soul?
The intermingling of two souls at the point of conception probably creates the conduit which allows the new human soul to be linked with the body that is forming. Each time two souls connect, a new soul can be produced -- even more than one soul within one encounter if the condition are met (ie., twins).
This in my opinion captures a religious view that I have that sex is something sacred in the eyes of God. In other words having sex with your wife, for example, would be a form of worship which participates in the divine. This does not suggest that only people who are married can worship God in this way. Anyone can do it if the spiritual/biological conditions are correct.
However, even if those who are participating in this divine love/creation do not believe in God, they can still nonetheless receive children from God -- because children are a gift from God regardless of whether the people receiving the child believes in God or not.

Re: What does this explain?
Most certainly yes. As a person who has worked with disabled children (both physically and mentally) as a teacher assistant, and as a parent of a profoundly autistic son, I'm quite sure that these children are extremely blessed gifts from God.
Consequently, taking a double look at that picture, I'll note that this child (if it is a real skelleton) had two bodies merging at one head. Looking at the pattern emerging from the skull, it appears as if it was possible that two brains were joined together within one massive skull.
This raises and interesting point: if two brain are merged into one mass, does this mean that the children share the same consciousness?
I will note that there are modern day examples of people who have been joined together at the head -- even sharing brain matter. Yet each one joined together seems to perceive themselves as someone distinct from the other.
What does this explain?
Certainly, if the brain is the seat of one's consciousness, yet two different consciousnesses share the same brain, does this not once again indicate that one's consciousness is something which can work independently of the brain?
