You do believe in the continuum of the soul though?

Depends on where other's are going.

Get it into your head:
No two people are alike!!!
You cannot put anyone in a box!!!
And you are trying very hard with me, so I pity all the rest!!!!!

In a related report by the Inquisitr, Stephen Hawking fears the Terminator movies may actually come true, but to this day, the “lowly” human brain still beats out supercomputers on multiple fronts. Louis Del Monte, the author of The Artificial Intelligence Revolution, also believes an AI singularity event will occur by 2045, but so far, computer AI can’t even pass the Turing test.

In most religions, the totality of being human is divided into three parts; mind, soul, and body. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other religions typically equate the mind to the physical human brain, which works in conjunction with an immaterial human soul. What has had philosophers and scientists arguing for thousands of years is exactly how this process functions from a mechanical viewpoint. When it comes to the philosophy of the mind, dualism and physicalism have competed for the beliefs of scientists, with the latter claiming that all which exists in our world, including consciousness, is physical.

On the side of physicalism, some scientists claim the soul or consciousness can be reduced to mere computations conducted within the neural networks in the human brain, which means all consciousness can be explained by algorithms. Other scientists believe believe that quantum processes attributed to the human soul work in partnership with the observable neurological processes to produce the experience of human consciousness, although one is not completely dependent on the other to function. Essentially, these scientists claim the human brain is a quantum computer, and the informational state of qubits are influenced by the human soul.

One such scientist is Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona. He and Sir Roger Penrose, mathematical physicist at the Mathematical Institute and Wadham College and University of Oxford, believe overall brain function derives from quantum level microtubule vibrations.

“The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?” ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review, according to Science Daily. “This opens a potential Pandora’s Box, but our theory accommodates both these views… Ref. Quantum Physics.

there's no need to feed soul. when greed, and war is all around us

I believe in the world I'm in. an invisible one? I don't.

That's interesting...thumbs up

I've heard the consciousness came before us theory a few times and I believe that's entirely possible.
I like to think of consciousness as similar to radio waves. We are surrounded by radio signals all the time, but without a radio receiver we wouldn't be aware of them.
Similarly, it could be that consciousness works the same, only in this instance the brain becomes the receiver.
I really do believe in universal consciousness and that's how it works. That would explain the many mysteries of recalling past lives, or people for no apparent reason after an accident or similar, suddenly being able to speak a foreign language.
It could even explain why, as documented many times a three year old can play a musical instrument to a very high standard.
Incidents like this are not uncommon. Could it be that certain individuals are able, perhaps without their knowledge, to connect to a wider range of universal consciousness than most of us?

I'm not trying to get anywhere, it's just a discussion on a forum. The only "box" I could put you in with regards this thread, is defensive.

It's no big deal.

dunno

It's marvelous that some theries are beginning to dovetail, giving us better insight.

I would say there are 4 parts, mind , body, soul and energy

I wouldn't put the energy separate, as it is part of all, or else it could be thought of, as separate!!! All the parts need energy to function!

I believe also in a collective consciousness and memories of past lives and any special skills learned in previous lives can be someone else's expetiences.

Also...think of morphic fields?
How can you pick up something somebody else's invented..even a thought ...at the same time as someone living on the other side of the planet?
