The Brain creates the Mind

In this video I argue that the brain creates the mind with supporting evidence.

The book I was reading from was "The Head Trip" by Jeff Warren, an awesome book I recommend.

i do agree with you about mind and brain connection but there have been studies on death where energy leaves the body. what i am saying RF waves WHERE EXITING THE BODY. I THINK SOME CHINESE MONKS WHERE ABLE TO CREATE ION FIELDS OUT SIDE THE BODY

I think more attention needs to be given to how we define mind and brain before calling them the same. For example, a brain is a physical organ that can be objectively verified as existing while "mind" does not share this characteristic of being objectively verifiable, it is rather ontologically subjective and experienced through a first person view. Because neuroscience depends on empirical evidence and an objectivist epistemology, its study of the mind is incomplete...(Cont..)

@SolRosenberg84 .look at the totality,the whole which give rise to the parts(the brain and the mind both)...u r simply being victim to the form of language and mode of thinking( in terms of which u make sense of the reality) by separating the aspects of one undivided whole to independent parts and holding the deluded view tha one must create the other..u r just misleading yourself about your own conviction by subscribing to such idea..

[qcon81]

@SolRosenberg84 okay wht u r saying is right but only partially..if u subscirbe to that view u have to first quit saying brain creates mind so BLATANTLY as if you have proved it to be a fact(at least by the way u present urself in the video)if you want to look a at such comlex level u cannot differentiate brain and mind and state one creates the other.

@SolRosenberg84 for otherwise, there r no sane experiments that can show that focusing on happy thoughts will produce stress hormones...how is the brain discerning what it has to produce in response to different stimuli..shudnt there be information from a different level which has to be outside the level n scope of matter??!! now to this, u will tell me to refer back to emergent property in nature

[qcon81]

@SolRosenberg84 te question of focusing on positive thoughts to produce oxytocin is not explained by ur statement that there r N.T and chemicals related to emotional states because there has to be some information that need to be processed before the brain knows its the time to produce oxytocin as a response to happy thought or else it will not produce oxytocin the next time he focuses on happy thoughts (if brain is just mannifesting at different levels to produce differnet chemicals)..

@SolRosenberg84 imay go insance next minute..because my brain is changing itself without information directing it or governing in any sense...(solely atoms are going to dance around and bring aboiut change) game over!!reality is stuck at atoms, it wont go any further

[qcon81]

...brain changing itself..can u go deeper than that claim of yours or u r just stuck at it...so the brain in changing all the time...as if by chance!!(now dont recommend me richard dawkins to read on'meme' or soemthing)... n now i think i am doomed because appparently my atoms in my brain are going to change my brain structure with no heed to any intelligence..

[qcon81]

neuroplasticity huh ..i am not new to tha term sir..,n go to buddhist or sufi islam or kaballah and ask them what their views were considered until it was confirmed that structure of brain can be changed...they always said that brain could be rewired only to be mocked at by then infantile neuroscience...well now they conform to what they had always asserted for centuries..u just have to wait to c waht more is on the way..

@qcon81

Or, quite simply, the brain changes itself - the idea that is best supported by the evidence gathered so far. I would recommend you read Norman Doidge's book "The Brain That Changes Itself". Also google, "nueroplasticity" - the brain has interesting physical mechanisms that allow for it to be incredibly flexible.

Also, as to what you were talking about, there are neurotransmitters and chemicals related to all emotional states of mind. Put simply, the brain makes its own drugs.
