vaxx: If u accept thought processes takes place in the brain then we are on the same page. U cant accept the mind is an abstract and then say it takes place in the brain again. That's why I said u should get ur story right. |

vaxx:my i dont really get what you are trying to achieve here. Are you just showing you know all about how the brain functions? No one is arguing that with you. You are making it seem like you are telling us something new and revolutionary. We are not here to learn everything on how the brain works. The mind is not an entity of it's own, it is a product of processes in the brain which is what we call thoughts. One part of the brain cant be enough to produce thoughts. This is why i dont want to be dilly dallying with you. This info is not changing anything here except you are trying to tell use the mind exists outside the brain, then i wld listen to you. For now you are only repeating what we know while trying to prove you know much about the topic which is not a big deal to me 3 Likes 2 Shares |

HardMirror:Hardware, the brain? I can understand that. Is what I see, perceive, reason etc the software? Or is the software the organic activity in my brain? |

budaatum:what you see when dreaming is not a function of your eyes so it cant be said you can see when your eyes are closed. Rather it is a function of your memory which can be subconsciously or consciously manipulated based on your fears or desires 3 Likes 1 Share |

budaatum:your brain is not just organic. It is also electrical. Nerves and synapses work with electrical impulses. These impulses are enabled by ions produced by chemical processes in your brain cells 1 Like |

Re: My Nairaland Journey From Christianity To Atheism In Pictures. by budaatum: 5:20pm On Sep 14, 2018 |
HardMirror:I am consciously aware in my dreams to the extent to which I observe myself in my dreams. Hence, 'perceive', as in "consciously aware of". Hmm that sounds awkward. Like I'm asking you to take my word for it. True though. |

vaxx: U are not liberating me... There was an error in ur post and I showed it to u... Now u say u are librating me. U said mind is an abstract place and though process takes place in this abstract place. Is this even possible? So far I concur with all u have been saying which is no different with hardmirror's and Martinez's For me mind is an abstract term that's why I told buda its not a thing. Most religious people think the mind is in the heart that's actually what I am interested in correcting. Most don't know the bran takes care of everything with think the so called mind (heart) is doing. If u say the mind is an abstract term stick to it and don't say thought processes takes place in this abstract thing.. That's fallacy |

Re: My Nairaland Journey From Christianity To Atheism In Pictures. by budaatum: 5:30pm On Sep 14, 2018 |
HardMirror:Oh good. I didn't want to sneak it past you. So, is the conscious awareness in dreams not a sort of 'perceiving', without seeing with eyes? |
