Thank you for your response to the topic. Where does "too" refer to? How is this done? How is your brain giving you ideas and feelings? Can you give m...

Thank you. Interesting. But how could one get to that? Certainly not by using a dictionary. Also, I don't know how many people in here know about that...

I was totally honest with you. I really didn't undesrand your point. Do you find it rational to blame someone because he honestly didn't undestand som...

Indeed Buddhism considers the spirit, the mind and the body as one enity. Also Buddhist medicine is based on a holistic view of the human being. Howev...

I have not asked this question from you. Well, you just picked it up. OK, but I would prefer that you had responded to the topic itself. Anyway, since...

Usual meaning?! Well, I have never met this word used in the way you define it! I also looked, specially for that, in a couple of standard dictionarie...

Yes, I am rather for that! I wonder about that too! I could understand this for people in general, even for hardcore Science who can only handle mater...

What problem? See https://www.thefreedictionary.com/physical+structure What games? I brought in a definition from a standard dictionary. I also brough...

Thank you for your response to the topic. I really can't undestand that. But even if I could, it sounds totally irrelevent to the topic and my descrip...

Nothing. But can you please tell me why you say "I don't consider my brain ...." Can you be a body and still have a body at the same time? Thank you f...

OK. Thank you.

I would love to do that, but then I'm afraid it would take a few pages! :smile: And most probably no one would read them! (A couple of responders have...

Thank you for your response to the topic. The word "body" has a lot of meanings, of course. But its meaning here is very clear: "The physical structur...

Thank you for your response to the topic. Very good question and point! :up: I can think of 3 reasons: 1) They don't actually believe that they are a ...

How can you reject a whole topic with one such a general and unsubstantiated statement? ... Sorry, I believe you can! :smile:

I already answered that. But I can explain it a little more or better. If soemone thinks he is a body, it means that everything in him is material. Th...

Hi, again. Sorry about the delay but I made a long break ... Yes, one can say that. Like a mechanic and his tools, a musician and his instrument, a pa...

Who is "he"? Well, wataver. "In a what way he was not living?" Dead? Well, wataver. What is "his YOU"? You mean either his body or his spirit.. Well, ...

Thank you for your response. Of course we are not our minds. We have a mind (which is non-physical). As we say "I have a thought, an idea, etc." (I su...

Thank you for your response. But isn't the brain part of the body? Actually, is it inside the body? How can it be also connected to it? Is your heart ...

Thank you for your response. I didn't use the word "self" in my description except only to give an example of people who believe that what they call t...

Thank you for your response. Well, I wouldn't go that far. It is out of the point. When one says "my body" it is crystal clear to everyone what does t...

Thank you for your response. Do you mean, point to my body! :smile: But my whole point and its description showing that YOU are not your body and that...

Thank you for your response. Wow! This is quite long and I have to "study" it before I reply to it. So, let me come back soon, after I reply to other ...

Thank you for your response. OK. Then who or what is that "someone"? But all this is "body" (except "mind", but this is not the issue). Where is that ...

Thank you for your response. Quite interesting view! (On some other occasion, I would like to know more about it!)

Thank you for your response, dimosthenes9. I didn't say that they "agree that thoughts, ideas etc (mind in general) is non psychical." Actually, the o...

Thank you for your response. Of course I accept it! Why else should I have brought it up? I only said that "this is not in my plan." Besides that, my ...

Thank you for your response. I respect your position, of course. But I would prefer that you responded to my position and bring pro or con arguments a...

Thank you for your response. Of course, we can't expect physical evidence for something that is not physical. Otherwise, if we had such en evidence, t...

Thank you, Jack, for your eresponse. Fortunately, I agree with your position, which is very nicely expressed. (I say "fortunately", because my eye has...

Thank you for your response. However, I can't undestand this "poetic" passage. But certainly there are no arguments in it. Of course that would be ide...

In what way does brain support mental content, i.e. mind? Is mind a product of and contained in the brain? Or does the brain react to stimuli created ...

Sorry about the delay of my response. Philosophy of mind has certainly a lot to say about all mental illnesses! It's only off-topic because the subjec...

That's a very good start, Constance! For one thing, it shows thinking! :smile: (Most responses I read to this topic lacked such a thing! :smile:) Of c...

Suffering occurs in life, not death. With death, life ends. And with it, suffering. There's neither a downside or advantages in death for the deceased...

Well, it's not the only option ... You might also think that you were predestined to write this reply and what exactly to write! :grin:

You talk too much! :smile:

Well, you still didn't burst my bubble and it was still not hard! (Or maybe, did it turn as a boomerang against yourself? :smile:) For me, this is jus...

Calling something "silly" instead of explaining why it is not true, is not a responsible attitude and certainly it does not behove this place. You sho...

How do these points answer my question "Should I be in a constant doubt of my senses"? Sould I doubt that I see a tree in front of me? Should I doubt ...

OK, I read that reply of yours. Not much illuminating, but it's OK. The bottom line / question is ... "Do you have a free will or not?"

Certainly they can. But then, these indicate an abnormal condition, as I said. And certainly, one cannot trust his senses in such a condition. (I have...

Of course. What else could I do? These were and are my senses. What's the use or purpose doubting them? What could I gain from such a thing? In fact, ...

I would call a painless death an ideal death! :smile:

No problem, go ahead please, you cannot "burst my bubble"! :smile: No, you really don't! :smile: Hallucination, mirage, optical/auditory/tactile Illus...

Fair enough. Come again? :smile: Are you talking about that spongy organ inside the skull? It might well be so. But I still trust my senses! :grin:

This is a totally different thing. You didn't mention anything like this in your description of your topic, which referred to options in general, in f...

OK, but my point was much simpler. I'll just summarize it with a new, concrete question: "Is asking for (legally performed) euthanasia considered as s...

But what? Please copmplete your thought. I like to know your opinion. BTW, in your first comment (which I quoted in my "collection" of responses) you ...
