Fvcknames:Then by this, spirit/souls religions claim doesn't exist. Religions claim spirits have consciousness and even memories. E.g The Muslims believe when one dies, angels will ask questions in the grave and the spirit will answer. |

purem:The whole brain is active during dreams, from the brain stem to the cortex. Most dreams occur during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This is part of the sleep-wake cycle and is controlled by the reticular activating system whose circuits run from the brain stem through the thalamus to the cortex. The limbic system in the mid-brain deals with emotions in both waking and dreaming and includes the amygdala, which is mostly associated with fear and is especially active during dreams. The cortex is responsible for the content of dreams, including the monsters we flee from, the people we meet, or the experience of flying. Since we are highly visual animals the visual cortex, right at the back of the brain, is especially active, but so are many other parts of the cortex. Least active are some parts of the frontal lobes, and this may explain why we can be so uncritical during dreams, accepting the crazy events as though they are real – until we wake up. Couldn't really explain it well, so I just copied and pasted from a site 3 Likes 1 Share |

purem: Are there functions we possess that are automated but still controlled by the brain? |

emrain: 1.And these things can exist separately from the host? 2. Shouldn't spirit be nature of the soul if it is the state of the soul and not separate in it self? |

There is no such thing as a soul or spirit. Consciousness is a function of the brain. There is zero evidence supporting the assertion that the soul exists. |

johnydon22: 1. No 2. Just as the soul needs a body to survive, the spirit needs the soul. |

emrain:But they are separate entities?
So the spirit is more like the soul of the soul? |

Superb topic. This is why they say wisdom involves knowledge of Self. Man is made up of a Spirit (Adam) and a Soul or free Spirit (Eve). Both of whom are within the Mind (Temple of God) of Man. The Mind is master over the body/flesh. Mind over matter. We do what we think. The body is slave to the Mind. The brain (matter) is central to the expressions of the Spirit and Soul. Adam = Spirit = Consciousness. The fruits of the Spirit are Love, inner peace, self-control, creativity, faith, hope, etc. This is the Conscience- that quiet voice that opposes the soul. The fruits of the soul are anger, envy, lust, ego, fear, intellect, etc. A new born baby is alive in the womb before it’s born. (Kicking,etc). Babies are pure and innocent (one spirit and soul controlled by the Spirit (Godhead)) until they develop their free spirit (soul), ego.. The purpose of life is to bring the soul under the control of the Spirit (Godhead). This is what marriage means, the union of the soul and spirit. The two become one Mind (yin/yang) |

johnydon22:Though I'm not an expert in this, but yeah the spirit is more like the soul of the soul. Very funny. |
