The question is directed to you Mike. I didn't see any questions for me, but I'll check.

Sorry, didn't notice any questions that you may have asked me. I understand that certain people have an agenda to eliminate mind for specific reasons....

If you may remember, when you asked me the question, I was able to give you a one sentence, coherent, easily understandable definition. The c rain is ...

What I have been able to glean is that they is no experience, no mind, just a relation which is the experience. An experience without an experiencer. ...

The experience or relation (relation had already been delivered as consciousness) without an experiencer. Works fine, except everyone experiences thin...

It appears to me that the sentences and the overall story is being presented in lieu of any evidence. Now as for the story itself, I find it pretty in...

Science provides some practical tools that can be developed based upon creative insights, but these tools acting on the the experience are not the exp...

Yes, it fits but descriptively it is much different. Viewing the body and cells as a complete holistic, cooperative mind provides a different path to ...

Both papers are about dividing up the experience of living into a measurement/location map. Should measurement be given ontological status? This is th...

Everytime you used the word I, that was your mind. Embrace it, because it is you.
September 23, 2017 at 04:36
What do you think is thinking? Do you ever spend any time observing your mind at work? Right now it is trying to figure out how to bring chemicals to ...
September 23, 2017 at 03:34
It's called consciousness. No materialist paper has ever been written about consciousness without injecting consciousness into matter. Look for one th...
September 23, 2017 at 02:43
More than this, I am asking how they (the chemicals) got the notion that they have function? I know you understand the notion of function because you ...
September 23, 2017 at 02:11
Since when does a tube of chemicals view themselves as having a function? Agreed, that the idea is very simple and simplistic. Chemicals are coming to...

Yes, but if you wish to be creative, then you have to be creative - and very patient. Creativity takes time. In a way replacing one word with 10,000 w...

Yes there are constraints. It adds problem solving and interest to life. Dreams have no constraints.
September 22, 2017 at 16:07
There is nothing to unite. It is a unity. Matter can be considered decayed mind. Mind is fundamental. There are many interesting things to discover in...
September 22, 2017 at 16:02
No need to think of it as entrapment. All living things (minds), at various levels or layers, are cooperating in the evolution of the mind (universe).
September 22, 2017 at 15:51
Yes, there the the mind. Don't allow yourself to be conditioned not to use it. :) There is really no hurdle, it is simply the mind. The only hurdle is...
September 22, 2017 at 15:45
Not clear on this idea. Can you elaborate?
September 22, 2017 at 15:29
Yes. It is all mind. It is important to understand the process of being accepted and getting ahead in academia - no mind! For this reason, rather stra...
September 22, 2017 at 15:28
Mind is the active force of the universe that is observing, creating, learning and evolving.
September 22, 2017 at 15:21
It is not a back door. Quite simply, it is teaching the cellular minds and the bigger minds (Sheldrake's moronic resonance forms) new habits or new wa...

No, it is embedded in the field, not outside of it. You might even say it is it. You can may visualize it as a wave traveling through water. The brain...

September 22, 2017 at 12:53
The key points are: 1) The field is real and is out there. There is nothing in the brain. 2) The brain is a transmitter/receiver. It reveals elements ...

All of the implications of Newton's theories contradict SR. You can't say there is a preferred frame a reference (Newton), then say there isn't (SR), ...
September 21, 2017 at 14:17
I say drop SR and all of its implications including no preferred frame of reference.
September 21, 2017 at 14:14
Exactly how many areas of the universe are without gravitational space-time? Really, must we go through this?
September 21, 2017 at 14:11
Whoops! All those books on SR need to be pulled from the library shelves immediately. This can be a PR nightmare. What should we do about the millions...
September 21, 2017 at 14:09
I suggest then that SR be completely dropped and all that it implies. That will really eliminate the contradictions!
