Its And You Know Its Funny Actually I

was just watching a lecture last night about the neurological constituents of consciousness and it’s it’s profoundly difficult. You know in Neurology I I’m most you know when we look at Neurology. I think the most interesting things actually come out of anesthesia. You know general anesthesia like when people go into surgery and things like this. It really gives us some insight into the nature of consciousness, but based on what I’ve studied and also what I’ve experienced I would say I’m a firm duelist in the sense that you know the the brain is really in my view at least a little more than a tool of the mind itself.

Mind Is Something Completely Other Thats

a very Buddhist idea as well. So in in philosophy the philosophy of reality there has really been always two ways of looking at. the world what they call monism and dualism. So monism describes one reality and most of the time that’s typify DAz materialism, so science is very mon as if you know there’s only one physical world and that’s it Biblical thinking also tends to be have a great accent on monism. That was actually where it largely seemed to emerge from oddly enough and religions tend to more so towards dualism, which separates matter in mind.

So The First Major Philosopher To

tackle that was Plato actually and it was Plato and Aristotle who suggested that matter is one thing and mind is a completely separate thing and that was where the Catholic Church picked it up. They integrated it into the notion of an immortal soul and things of this kind. The Eastern religions, Buddhism and Hinduism. They even go one step further by arguing that there’s no matter. At all that really mind is the only thing that truly exists so that well Maya is you know the material world is they are saying literally an illusion.

They Truly Know That Yeah Exactly Yeah,

So there’s there’s kind of a spectrum. You know where you can you can go with science which is materialistic that says everything is physical but that leaves a lot of missing information like what is you know I always like to challenge atheists. I say well then what physically is a dream made out of you know if you see a lake in a dream, you know are there H2o molecules in there you know let’s see it kind of seems ridiculous or you know how much does consciousness weigh right you can ask these kinds of questions that reveal the limitations of materialism it only goes so far the other extreme is. Idealism, which is like Buddhism, which says everything is mind There’s no such thing as a physical reality. It’s pure illusion and dualism sits in between by suggesting that there’s a little bit of both going on there and yeah it’s it’s been a it’s been a long-standing debate between philosophies and religions.

You Know, But In Many Ways

I sometimes wonder if maybe it isn’t just sort of an arbitrary label that we put on a lot of these things. You know if anything I would say I’m a dualist leaning towards idealism actually I think that mind is the fine fundamental basis of reality. Certainly as individuals. Reality is fundamentally taking place in our own consciousness, and I can think of medical or at least anatomical ways that that’s evident just the way that the optical function operates and create in in breaking down photons into image inverting. image in consciousness just stuff I’m literally not at all an expert in I have a fleeting understanding of.

I Suppose What Interests Me About Inducing

whether through meditation, breathing or psychedelics, or some other practice states of mind and experiences that seem if not transcendent of then detached from our typical understanding of the material world. What why I suppose this has become so important to me is the order of things is underwritten by the notion that it that this is truth. This is the way things are and to bring about a new order to change the way that the world is run. My world is run or your world is run or the world at large if they could never be such a thing. It seems to me a requirement that we introduced new data.

A New Understanding And I Feel

weird. I feel that we. Are experiencing the limitations of our current models? Whether that’s democracy capitalism goodness thanks for watching this podcast and going all the way to the end of it was using kind of to kick the bell when I believe they’re there and they’re subscribing so that we can infiltrate your serenity and peace of mind with Jangling bells and Basses.

Summary

The brain is really in my view at least a little more than a tool of the mind itself . I think the most interesting things actually come out of anesthesia like when people go into surgery and things like this.
