  • Potentially one aspect is missing, the concept of a soul. If the idea is that mind==soul, then I would call for distinctly that separation. Further, the brain is not the mind either, but part of the body that physically accommodates the activities of the mind/soul.

    I think that some proof of this lies in the fact that the brain can be damaged but the essential, spiritual "you" remains the same. Also, near death experiences, etc.

    Mind/soul is transcendent of body.

  • Totally agree with you on this! 100%. Thanks for your thoughts ! :D

  • Interesting video. But is division necessarily a bad thing? To ask this question is almost to ask "Is Western civilization a bad thing?" as separation - from God, from nature, from the objects of science - is so central to it. I'm not at all sure it is a bad thing, whilst finding Eastern thought - which you seem to espouse - deeply interesting. Of course there are Western thinkers - Spinoza, Schopenhauer - who straddle the divide.
