I am schizophrenic too. I, however, think that my subconscious mind could also deceive me, giving me false hallucinations. I am not denying spirituali...

An objection to Trinity: God/mind to me is defined as an irreducible substance with the ability to experience, freely decide, and create. Such a God e...

So, you like that all these materials are discussed in a single thread?

No, I am not asking that. I am asking you to think of a "cup" without making an image of it that has a shape. You need to do what I said above.

I wish your book gets good attention!

I am not that old, but I have a memory problem. I have a very limited vocabulary, yet I am able to communicate with people. I don't use AI such as Cha...

By substance, I mean something that objectively exists, opposite to what subjectively exists, so-called experience.

You need many affirmations to tell a theory is correct. One negation, however, tells that the theory is incorrect.

One case is enough if you want to discard the idea that the experience arises from brain activity.

Many thanks. So, there was at least one case in which the person experiencing NDE had no brain activity. Case closed!

Cool. I am wondering if there is any brain activity during NDEs, or if there was at least one case in which there was no brain activity during the NDE...

Yes, what I am stressing, though, is that it is irreducible.

That is a lot of material. I think you need to open a thread on each topic!

Do you know of any studies that support this? Maybe. Oh, that is a lot of drugs! And, why do you think that your encounters are not referring to real ...

The mind, to me, is defined as an irreducible substance with the ability to experience, freely decide, and create. These abilities are required to cau...

What is your definition of the mind?

The idea of a cup does not have any part for me! You need to think of a cup without trying to make a mental representation, an image, which you can pe...

I am not an expert in this field, and I just report what an expert says. Perhaps @"Sam26" can comment on this more. Oh, that is interesting. So, you u...

NDE also occurs in cases in which the brain also shuts down according to researcher: "Near-death experiences (NDEs) are intensely vivid and often life...

I am talking about free will. The ability to do whatever I want, even sin. Does God have such an ability?

NDE, to me, refers to the existence of something that experiences when even the brain is shut down. They seem to experience themselves in the form of ...

Oh, so you deny that an idea has a location. They are not even close to you, perhaps somewhere in the field of your experiences! How could you possibl...

I can do the opposite of God's foreknowledge if I am a free agent and have access to His foreknowledge. I know that is not acceptable in your view, bu...

So, God can sin since He is free! Agree, or disagree?

I think that the idea of fairies is important when it comes to reality, since we cannot explain out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, etc.,...

But you cannot falsify that fairies are untrue, given that our instruments are not precise enough.

Well, why do you reject it if you know it is actually false? I think we should consider all hypotheses unless we can show that some of them are false.

I understand that. So he does not accept the hypothesis since?

And where is the truth if it is not in the mind? Could we agree that something that exists is either objective or subjective? "Cup" refers to an idea....

If you think that the mind exists on its own and the body exists too, then you are a substance dualist! What is your definition of mind, by the way?

To experience, freely decide, and create are examples of abilities that only mind-sort substances have. Mind-sort substances have properties as well, ...

I don't think so.

Thanks. I, however, disagree with his final thought in which he mentioned that an amount of energy might dissipate to higher dimensions if we collide ...

Correct. The link refers to one of my posts. You may want to correct the link, which I think is this one.

"Cup" refers to an idea. "My cup", however, refers to a new idea in my mind that objectively exists near me too. When you read this sentence, the idea...

If the "One" you mean the mind, then we are on the same page.

I must mention that non-mind-sort substances possess properties, whereas mind-sort substances possess abilities and properties. Mind-sort substances a...

I will read the rest of your response later and reply to it. I am sincerely sorry. I am short on time. I think we can agree that God is simple and irr...

You miss the abilities. Other than that, we are on the same page. Now, going back to the Trinity, why are three beings with different properties and a...

And what is whatness? A being is something that objectively exists and has a set of properties and abilities. The properties allow us to distinguish b...

Panpsychism cannot explain the unity of experience.

Correct. Correct. We understand how. The properties of water are functions of the properties of parts. We can also simulate water. It is just not easy...

I think panpsychism fails to explain the unity of experience; therefore, it is not acceptable.

I don't understand what you mean by particles have water in them! Water refers to a system of H2O molecules. We have a good intuition on why water cha...
